Although he has been fascinated with martial arts study for most of his life, Scott Campsall Renshi started seriously training with Kyoshi Fred Walker in 1994. Five years later, under Kyoshi Walker's guidance, he founded Okami Kai which provides award winning martial arts education to the Uxbridge, Ontario area. Campsall Renshi later received his fourth degree black belt in Karate from Shihan Roger Jarrett of the North American Karate Federation.
He now currently trains with 9th degree black belt Hanshi Cezar Borkowski of Northern Karate Schools in Toronto. Under Borkowski Hanshi's guidance, he is always adapting and evolving his martial arts knowledge to not only further his own development, but the Okami Kai student's as well. On September 24, 2011, Renshi Scott Campsall was promoted to the rank of Godan (5th degree) black belt in the art of Karate by Hanshi Borkowski accompanied by 10th Degree black belts Masami Tsuruoka, Tetsuhiro Hokama, and Kiyonori Shiroma.
His journey into Yoshinkai Aikido training began in early 2002 under the guidance of 8th degree black belt Kyoshi Kevin Blok of Windsor, Ontario. He obtained his Shodan (first degree) black belt in Aikido in October of 2011. Campsall Renshi also works as an Advanced Instructor with Kyoshi Blok's company, On Guard International. He has also been certified in Non-Physical Crisis Intervention and as an adjustable baton instructor.
Family life is very important to Campsall Renshi. When he is not teaching or training, he tries to balance time with his wife Darcie who is a Nidan (second degree) black belt at Okami Kai, his son Jacob who is currently an Okami Kai student, and two step-daughters Dani and Amy.
