Sensei Corey Green is a world leader in the realm of teaching martial arts to people with disabilities. Several projects that are behind the scenes including; inventions, upcoming research, and the documentary film titled ＂Fighting Autism＂ showcase why he is one of the leaders in the martial arts world. Sensei Green’s karate students with disabilities, have made U.S. Karate history fifteen times. His student’s successes include students with autism and blind defeating competitors with no disabilities whatsoever. Green’s students will continue to be one of many firsts of making more history in the decades to come. Sensei Green became a member of a select group of individuals and was chosen to be on the ＂Athletes with Disabilities＂ committee for the U.S. Karate (USANKF) in January of 2016. Sensei Green has been a karate Sensei since 1997 and has pioneered his own innovative methods that he has gathered from teaching 40,000 classes with special needs since his first class. He started training at age 7 and is now 40 and never stopped practicing martial arts. Sensei Green’s upbringing was not without its challenges but throughout it all, Green has persevered to a degree that is unparalleled, unforeseen by many, and unpredictable. Green owes all of these successes to the adversity that he has faced throughout his life. His trials and tribulations in his childhood, teen years and adult life have shaped him into who he is today. Instead of focusing on what many people appear to focus on in the martial arts including making a plethora of money. Green takes an entirely different approach. Green was told in the very beginning that if you focus on the student and your student’s successes then he would be taken care of financially. His selflessness and dedication to helping others has been the key to opening countless doors to his success and to the success of others. Green will continue to be the light that shines in this dark world and to be the change he wants to see in the world. His ultimate reference manual, Karate Wise, is a legacy in the making and will shape the world into a better place for all to enjoy! Sensei Green is married to singer/songwriter, poet, artist, and author Michelle Young.
