Ottawa’s Tanya Lemaire and her husband Shane Hale fight fiercely and get rewarded for it.
After all, they’re award-winning Isshinryu karate experts, both recent recipients of International American Okinawan Karate Association distinctions. Lemaire, a Shodan, earned the “Outstanding Black Belt – Female” plaque, while Hale, a Nidan, took the honour for the males.
While their fighting spirit is evident in the karate dojo, the Canadian couple gets along quite well behind the scenes.

18th International Association of Educator For World Peace, 1st International Martial Arts Festival, October 29-31, 2008
Hello everyone, well 2008 was an eventful year for us, we had losses and we had gains, we finished off 2008 with some great competitive wins. This past summer I was contacted by Dr. Steve Rajan who was part of the organizing committee for this event, originally 40 Grand Masters from around the world and local Malaysians were chosen to teach and demonstrate their system and skill at the 1st IMAF in Malaysia. This all expense paid event was hosted by the government of Malaysia and was held at the Sunway Resort and spa.
