    Hi All

    I am sure that many of the older members would remember Shizuo 'Peter' Suzuki Shihan of Wado Ryu who taught in Birmingham until the 1980's, when ill health forced an early retirement. I was absolutely delighted to recently learn that Suzuki Shihan has stepped out of retirement and is now teaching and offering technical advice to the Suzuki Karate School in Droitwich.

    This is excellent news and I am certain that Shihan will continue to promote Wado Ryu in the traditional manner for which he is renowned.

    Respectfully

    Peter

    It doesn't get much better than that does it?

    Maeda, P Suzuki, Sakagemi, T Suzuki, Kobayashi, Ishikawa, Takamizawa to name but a few.

    Training course and a half me thinks.

    Hi All

    Just a little additional information. I have contacted both Sensei Sheila Suzuki and Sensei Yuri Suzuki and believe that Shihan teaches on Wednesday evening.

    Respectfully

    Only 65? I thought he would have been older. He has a lot of teaching still to offer then!
