Hi I was wondering if you live in the uk and practice shotokan karate what your sensei name is! I know few sensei's in uk and have trained with them in a training camp in Edinburg. Just wondering if I know the names. Regards Kerling
One of which wasn't even from a Shotokan practioner There are a few Shotokan-er's about here, I think they're just being shy
Hi All, although I now do WTF Taekwondo, I did manage to get up to 2nd Kyu in Shotokan under Sensei Eric Pitch, who was with the KUGB at that time. Great instructor.
I am 1st Dan Shotokan Karate but I know longer train due to lack of a club in the Scottish Highlands (that I like anyway!). I now do CKD, aikido and occaisionally judo. I trained through the late 80's and early 90's with KUGB instructors. My first, main instructor was Cyril Cummings 6th Dan - despite the surname a great bloke! He teaches in the Birmigham area. During my time with the KUGB I trained on courses and gradings with Enoeda (died this year), Ohta, Andy Sherry, Bob Poynton, Terry O'Neil, Frank Brennan, Steve Cattle and Billy Higgins. Any of those ring a bell?
Really? I did my Nidan (2nd degree) with Seb King in Sept. 2001. Steve King did the Cardio-warmup. Tell them Tobias and Jim say hello.
That is cool man! I will tell them you said hi, we often come down to leeds for Steve Leeks comps, maybe we should meet up next time?
