Mr. Diguardi

I started karate in 1993 at the age of six after begging my parents to take me for lessons.  My interest in the martial arts came mostly from TV shows and movies. After eleven years of balancing school sports and karate, I went for my black belt.  The test is something I will never forget as it was probably the most difficult trial that I will ever have to over come. 

The day following my black belt test I moved to Delaware for 3 months to work on jet skis before I headed for school. I spent 14 months in Orlando Florida to train for boat repair at Marine Mechanics Institute. After that I came back to PA and worked for family and friends until I found a job in Delaware. After three months of being there, I decided to move home and found a job at Maiden Creek Marine & RV. Once home I returned to East Coast Karate to begin training again and assumed the role of an instructor. Feel free to ask for my help or any questions. OSU!!!
