Evelyn Barrons

Evelyn began practicing Isshinryu karate with FSDC in 2012 and earned her Junior Black Belt in December of 2019. She earned her 3rd degree adult black belt in December 2023. Her favorite thing about Isshinryu is that everyone can participate and it teaches you how to defend yourself in real-life situations.

Evelyn has competed at numerous tournaments, including IHOF and many KIAI tournaments, winning several trophies, including two 1st place trophies. She teaches lower ranking students during the week. She has volunteered at Light Up the Night, a Christmas event in Novi, many times, and has marched with the FSDC group in a dozen parades.

Outside of karate, Evelyn volunteers in the Kindergarten and Preschool classrooms at her church (Oak Pointe in Novi); is a youth ministry leader in her church youth group; was a girl scout in elementary school for six years; plays field hockey at the high school; and marched in the Pontiac City Holiday Parade with the Waterford Rotary Club for several years.
