Rafael Infante - Nidan
Rafael has been studying Isshinryu Karate under Sensei Tom Lloyd since 2009. He joined the dojo with his three young sons and progressed through brown belt rank with them. While his sons went off to college, Rafael continued to study under Sensei Lloyd and earned his black belt in 2020 and a second-degree black belt in 2022. Rafael enjoys the discipline of karate, especially the aspect of continually mastering oneself throughout all of life. Rafael views karate as a path of self-awareness through which one can develop insight through practice. He enjoys working with new students as a way to pay forward the excellent Isshinryu tradition that he has and feels so fortunate to have had an opportunity to learn.
Rafael is retired from an IT career with the Prudential Insurance Company of Newark, NJ. He currently teaches computer skills to individuals seeking to improve their job and career prospects. He lives with his wife in Alexandria Township and enjoys meditation, gardening, and birdwatching.
