@frjennings It's the nature of good karate instructors to personalise training. The hard thing is keeping divergent interests and practices welcome and working together under one roof.

[John Titchen @JWTitchen]

@frjennings Always the way. My late Instructor Roger Hall was one of those who founded ESKA and was 'co Chief Instructor' with Mick Nursey for a number of years as ESKA shrank with ever more break-aways until only one of the original founders remained.

Really missing the fun of seminars in my 2020 year off.
