Our Instructors


Diane Ortenzio-Cooling, a sixth degree black belt, has been training in the martial arts for over twenty-eight years. She is the chief instructor (sensei) at Sierra Dojo. In addition to Isshin-Ryu Karate and Kobudo (traditional weapons), she also trains in grappling arts, modern weapons, and personal safety.

Sensei Ortenzio's passion for the martial arts is contagious, and her caring attitude for her students is evident. She believes that steady training with attention to detail and an emphasis on the underlying principles of martial arts will build individuals with strength and the ability to handle themselves in any situation.

Sensei has dedicated her life to empowering students to learn and grow through martial arts training.
