(Madison, NJ) November 14, 2017 – Rishab Bamzai,12, from Livingston recently earned his Junior Black Belt from Sensei Chris Goedecke, head karate instructor at the Madison Area YMCA.  

Rishab, a 7th grader at Heritage Middle School, began karate at the Y when he was 5, following his father’s recommendation that it would be a good skill for his son to learn. His favorite part of his karate training is sparring with fellow students. Rishab’s enthusiasm also inspired his 8-year-old sister, Ritika, to join. She is a green belt.   

The Madison Area YMCA is a 501(c)(3) cause-driven charitable organization dedicated to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. All are welcome to be enriched by Y membership, programming, community wellness and health-enhancing programs, regardless of ability to pay. Generous donations to the Madison Area YMCA’s Annual Fund make it possible for everyone in our community to experience the Y.
