Karateka Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Hey everyone. I am new at Karate Forums. I live in North Vancouver, BC Canada. I have been in Martial Arts for 6 years. I spent 4 years in Kickboxing and then switched to Traditional Karate. I now take Shito Ryu Seikokai at the age of 15 as a brown belt. I am under the tutallidge of Sensei Ron Bagley 5th dan. He is more to me then a sensei. He is more like a father. He has helped me become a better person. His assistant, Michelle Sempai, has been an excellent person to me since I joined. She has helped me in everything I do. Together, these are the best Kumite fighters I have ever seen in my life. I have not seen Sempai Michelle lose a fight yet. Sensei Ron has been the BC Champ, Canada champ, U.K. Champ, Shito Ryu Champ, European Bronze medalist, BC Team Head Coach and the best person I have ever met. Although I am new to the site, I feel that I have a lot to offer and you have a lot to offer me. I look forward to the opportunity in knowing you all. If anyone would like to reach me personally, you can email me. I would like to now what you all think about weight loss. I am currently over weight for my age and am trying to lose weight. I know that it will take that much to make me a better fighter in Kumite. If any of you have any advice you could give I would greatly appreciate it. Oni Gi Ji Mass.

KUGB_Chris1985 Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Does Sensei Ron Bagley have anything to do with Shotokan Karate in Great Britain (KUGB)? I think I've heard of him? Good luck in your chosen martial art "In combat know the enemys rhythm, use a rhythm he cannot anticipate, upset his rhythm, and win."

Karateka Posted June 25, 2001 Author Share Posted June 25, 2001 Yes he used to be in Shotokan Karate but switched to another dojo when his dojo disbanded. He was quite a famous champion in the UK. He moved to Vancouver Canada and is teaching my dojo and his head coach for the BC Team.
