Keith Karate Brief

I started Traditional Shotokan Karate in the early eighties, I trained with Sensei John Richards (Shihan) & Barry Rainford (Godan) Zen-Shin Association, KUGB; whilst in former West Germany with the Armed Forces.
I eventually started my own Karate School in Germany and joined Sensei John Gilliland (5th Dan) Gakushuin Association, EKGB.
Having established schools within Germany I left the Forces in 1997 and moved back to the UK, Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
I opened my first UK Karate School in 1998 and transferred my association to Sensei Rob Curtis (5th Dan) Ryoshin Association. I remained with Ryoshin for 7 years and eventually joined Sensei Ady Gray (Godan) BYAKKO Association as this was a Yorkshire based association.
Between 1998 and 2005 the Karate School grew in numbers and had gained 7 Blackbelt Grades within the school.
I now live in Crete, Greece and have become registered with Sensei Tim White (Shihan) & Renshi Grant McMaster (Godan) of Molum Combat Arts Association & Sensei Andrew Genery (7th Dan), British Wado-Ryu Karate Union. Registered with English Karate Federation (EKF).
During my Martial Arts life I have had the honour of also training with Iain Abernethy, Mark Adams, Wayne Otto, Jonathan Mottram, Aidan Trimble, Andrew Genery & Dave Hazard.
I am teaching at the Armed Forces Base here and at local centres in the area that I live.
