Hi Everyone, well i thought it was time that i put some of my thoughts on Karate as a self defence system down on the net. Over the next few months i will be posting various notes on my expiriences teaching and using self defence. I started Karate in 1974 in Hull UK at the NDLB Karate club. My Instructor was Frank Hayes. Frank was a real nice easy going gentleman and a first class Karate instructor, i owe the last 34 years in martial arts to him.
Early days Longhill Karate club 1978

Just came across this photo by chance Mike. I cannot remember having this photo taken and I only recognise you and Steve Barrass on either side of me. Were we visiting the club as I cannot remember training there? Fantastic that you kept it up. Well done. I emigrated to Canada and lost touch with Karate and friends from those days at NDLB.
Best wishes
Steve Gilbert
