Biography - George Thibault

Sensei Thibault is a 5th degree Black Belt and has his own dojo in Dracut, Massachusetts.  He began his training in Kenpo Karate in the early 1980's under Dr. Chamberlain in the original Chelmsford, Massachusetts school, where he achieved both his first and second degree Black belts.  He assisted with classes at this school and eventually took over the teaching duties when Dr. Chamberlain moved to Texas in 1993.  He continued his training with Professor Nick Cerio and opened his first school in Dracut, Massachusetts shortly thereafter.  Through Professor Cerio he was ranked through 3rd and fourth degree Black Belt.  He has since grown the school into a successful dojo and taught many students from the surrounding area.

Shihan Thibault has competed in numerous martial arts tournaments and events, winning trophies in many areas but especially in self-defense.  He has trained under many other gifted instructors in the intervening years in different arts but still considers Kenpo the center of his curriculum.  Most recently Shihan has continued his training with Dr. Chamberlain and was promoted by him to fifth degree Black Belt and the title Shihan at the 2008 Warrior Weekend event. He is seen below teaching "Juni Po" (12 Steps) at Warrior Weekend 2008.

Shihan Thibault has run after school programs in most of the local schools over the years and continues to give demonstrations and run other programs such as Women's Self Defense and Stranger Danger workshops for kids.
