aefibird Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Wayne Otto is a good competitor. He uses a lot of take down techniques that I really like. I like Wayne Otto too. I'm also impressed with Leon Walters, a big name in UK karate, although I don't know if many of the US guys will have heard of him. Sonny Roberts from my own karate organisation is good too. He's been described (not by me, by a respected martial arts magazine!) as having the "best gyaku-tsuki in the whole of England". As for the women... Tania Weeks, Tracy Kite and the well-known Cynthia Rothrock are my particular faves. A post about 'favourite competitors' can't pass without me mentioning the Chief Instructor of my karate organisation, Sensei Aidan Trimble. He was the first Westerner to win the All-Japan SKI karate championships, as well as many other top competitions around the world. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."
