Home Town:

Date entered martial arts:October 2001. (Although attended some Karate classes back in the 70’s at junior school!)

Date entered Selby Shotokan Karate Club:After date of first 2002 grading – March-ish I think.

Date left SSKC: February 2009

Current Club Style (if Applicable):

Karate Highs: When I do something right – and kumite is a favourite. Also training (fighting?!!) with my friends.

Karate Lows: Making mistakes, not being flexible enough, and never being quite good enough. Also when ego gets in the way of the proper spirit of karate. I think we’ve all being guilty of this at some point – even the masters I would say.

Favourite Kata: Hard to say, as kata is not my favourite part of karate. There are elements of particular kata that I like. Fumikomi in Jion is a great sequence. The end moves of Nijushiho – I’d love to see proper application of those. I like Wankan and Jin – these are well outside my grade and expertise, but we don’t study them enough in my opinion, they may get forgotten and that’s a shame. My grade kata? Jion I suppose.

The People I trained with at SSKC: Helen Milner, Thomas Gott, Dom Schilke and many more

My Sensei at SSKC: Sensei Ash, Paul and Andy
