Former Dunkirk resident Bob Roncska recently spoke to students of The Family Martial Arts Center. He received several questions about life and his job as a Navy officer. Roncska was a Commodore in the Navy and was an aide to President George W. Bush from 2006-2009.

“Chautauqua County has a lot of amazing success stories within and so much to be proud of,” said Master Sensei Bill Matteson of The Family Martial Arts Center.

The Center’s karate program constantly serves the area with educational and informatable stories about community members. Anyone interested in receiving a free week of classes may contact the Center at their convenience. One will learn about the Martial Arts, appreciation for the community and many other forms of “paying it forward” to help others.
