Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

This year and last have been the most eventful I've had in nearly 40 years of Martial Arts. The two most important events were the 2007 Budosai at Bisham Abbey and Two weeks in Japan 2008, all courtesy of Cyberbudo. Other trips included Germany, Poland, Spain, Portugal many times, many places in England.

I have invested heavily and supported 100% of Terry Wingrove's initiatives to bring Karate-Jutsu to the attention of the 1000's of Karate-ka who practice the over organisationalised formats of recreational, sport and leisure Karate.

This Blog represents my views on events, occasions and news.

A personal thank you from me, Alan Platt to Terry Wingrove and all my friends at Cyberbudo.

Bruce Miller Tour

Bruce Miller from Quan Li Kan style in the USA visits uk-karate.com Dojo

Bruce is one of the foremost pressure point experts with a more than adequate TCM & MWM background studying in the world today. With hands on civilian and military experience his applications and understanding of Kata is in my mind unique.

Sponsors of the the UK section of his tour include Terry Wingrove, Andy Manwaring, Robert Agar Hutton, Zoltan Deines, Joe Forbes and Myself.

Awsome stuff

Thanks Bruce, Dave, Adam & Ashley

The facts and antidotes to violent assault

At the linked venue and times stated I will be giving a lesson on the above topics.

I will have 45 minutes to deliver. "something useful"......................not a wonderful miracle system, not a cure all defense for every situation or scenario and absolutely not a pretence to the horror of violence.

Tino Ceberano Hanshi M.A.S.C


Tino Ciberano Hanshi demonstrating a full length press up. At 67 not bad............

The father of Australian Karate and probably the most senior Goju Kai Instructor in the world. A pioneer to the Yamaguch dojo, prior to the likes of Gary Speirs and Steve Morris. The Goju instructor that inspired the Chief Instructor of Go Kan Ryu to embark on his course.

A professional Martial Artist and Sports Consultant resident in Australia. A truly gifted, knowledgeable and charismatic person.

Alternative or Complementary Bunkai

If people think of Bunkai as a rigidly adhered to sequence of events associated within a prescribed Karate Kata, they have given up on their own creativity or potential to understand the vast diversity of Karate or Kata.
