ESA-Shotokan Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hi there, people. New person here. Quick intro to myself. I started training in shotokan karate with Steve Cattle in 1980. I then left school, discovered women and suddenly I hadn't been back to karate for a while. I had also moved away to a new area, where I took up the shotokan training again with the KUGB and senseis Jimmy and Frank Brennan; being graded on my way by Andy Sherry. Many years later, a life times of experience and I was introduced to the teachings of Sensei Kase, via a friend from Sweden. This has changed my life and understanding of karate completely. I am now with the ESA and I truly believe I am now learning "real" karate from my sensei, Alan Armstrong - 5th dan. In effect, I have come full circle as the ESA was founded by my first sensei, Steve cattle. I feel like I am a beginner again as his teachings are so new and unique. Thank you.

karatekid1975 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Nice to meet you I did Shotokan for a while with a friend. The school was too far or otherwise I would have stuck with it. I really liked it. She is now a 5th kyu and I still keep in contact with her. She is doing really well. Anyways, I'll move this to the "Intro" forum, so you would get more welcomes Welcome to KF Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
