Luis Plumacher

Luis moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in mid 2015 with the idea of spending some time in the city training while his was working on coming back to competition. He had been in Calgary for a few days in 2014, invited by Sensei Juan Osuna from WSKF Canada and www.osunakarate.com to train with his Calgary athletes. He fell in love with the city and decided to use Calgary as one of his key stops while training and travelling internationally to seminars. He started training with Sensei Osuna to prepare for the Canadian National Championships, hoping to participate in this tournament in one of his stops in Canada, but that same year Karate Canada added a 'permanent resident' requirement for their National Championship so he was not able to compete in Canada. In Calgary, he met his current wife and now resides in that City. Luisma currently volunteers as one of the Karate Alberta coaches, as well as trains at the Osuna Karate dojo in Calgary, where he helps with the development of high performance youth athletes.
