A brief history <\/strong><\/p>\n

I was first inspired to take up martial arts in the mid 1960’s by an actress called Honor Blackman who appeared in the UK TV show “The Avengers.”<\/p>\n

Honor was actually a black belt in Judo and as a kid watching her show I was so impressed at the way she could fling people around like rag dolls and I just had to learn how to do that.<\/p>\n

In 1966 at the age of ten I started training in Judo at a nearby club. Judo served me well against playground bullies who I encountered a lot of during my school years and also enhances my karate training to this day.<\/p>\n

At the age of 17 I decided to take up training in Karate and joined a club in Redhill Surrey, UK. The style was Kyokushin Karate and I have never regretted the foundations of karate basics I learnt practising this style of which are applicable to any style of karate.<\/p>\n

I emigrated to Australia in 1977 and in 1986 I began training in Goju Ryu Karate at the newly opened Capel Club under the guidance of Alan Burdett Shihan. Due to my previous Karate training and training 4 nights a week in Goju at Shihan Burdett’s Clubs I achieved my 1st Dan Blackbelt in late 1987.<\/p>\n

In 1988, Doug Harwood Sensei of Eaton Club, due to the work commitments, had to relocate to Mandurah and invited me to take over the Eaton Dojo as Sensei. A commitment I carry on to this day with the support of assistant instructor Stephen Sawyer Sempai. Stephen Sempai 3rd Dan has assisted with teaching at the Eaton Dojo for many years.<\/p>\n

Both Stephen and I like to teach the self defence aspect of Karate with a streetwise appeal.<\/p>\n

We welcome you to come and train with us and learn the art of Goju Ryu Karate-Do.<\/p>\n
