Diraksa Munajat
Black Belt Instructor

     Mr. Munajat started his martial arts journey at the local YMCA in Muncie, Indiana when he was 7 years old under his instructor at the time and law enforcement officer, Jay Dotson. He attended American Karate when he moved to Monterey, California at the summer of 2007. He received his black belt on April 28th 2012, the day after his birthday, a moment he’ll always remember.
 
     He loves to motivate others and to push them beyond their own limits and boundaries. He expects the best out of his students and makes sure that they earn their belts each and every day. Diraksa likes to CrossFit and pump out pushups during his spare time. You can usually see him running on the bike path during the week. When he’s not motivating others to do their best, challenging himself in a grueling workout, or in school, Diraksa enjoys sleeping, a lot.
