Shaun

Black Belt 3rd Dan

I have been learning and practising Karate with Shihan Mike Williams now for close to 20 years. In that time I have been able to learn, teach and compete as well as travel to Japan to learn and grade multiple times. I’m truly grateful to Shihan Mike for teaching and opening this world up to me.

Matt

Black Belt 4th Dan

Mike Williams (Shihan, 6th Dan) is extremely knowledgeable about Karate in part because he is so closely associated with Japan. I have improved my fitness, flexibility/mobility, etc. but for me, it is the advanced learning and the enjoyable atmosphere.
