Noe Casares

Noe Casares began training in martial arts at age 12 in Wing Tsun, eventually earning his Gold Sash. At 17, he won a national karate tournament and went on to compete internationally in Japan. He began studying Kempojitsu at 18 and achieved his black belt three years later. At 25, he added Aikijujitsu to his training, earning his black belt in five years. The art he currently teaches took him eight years to complete due to multiple surgeries, a journey that reflects his persistence and love for the arts. Noe has been teaching martial arts for over 40 years and, in addition to the four arts he has completed, has studied six other styles, bringing a deep, well-rounded perspective to his teaching. He is currently a 2nd Dan black belt and teaches both Kids Karate and Adult Karate at Rising Stars Performing Arts Center.
