Abdul Aziz, a martial arts practitioner for 45 years and a karate sensei for 25, likens his hands to two protective, potentially deadly weapons. Mr. Aziz, 53, who grew up in Claremont Village in the South Bronx, began practicing at age 8. For the last decade he has taught karate to children at the Harlem Children’s Zone’s Truce Nutrition and Fitness Center. (“Truce” stands for The Renaissance University for Community Education.) He also teaches for the New York City Housing Authority. He lives in the Bronx.
