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.
