Getting young people interested in martial arts can be tough. However the Heart of Oak Judo Club have been running courses and competitions aiding those less fortunate. They have been offering free membership, free training, help with licence costs and Blitz donated suits, to youngsters that sign up. There’s no catch, only to keep training… A very worthwhile cause deriving from a martial art that not only enriches lives but instils many worthy attributes…
If there were more people in the world that would care for young people, maybe it would be a better place…

May is here and there’s only one month until the Ticky Donovan OBE course in Clacton on Sea, Essex begins… http://www.ishinryu.org/
Ticky Donovan started training in Karate at the age of 18 years in 1965 and began his initial training with Tatso Suzuki in the style of Wado Ryu. He also trained with some well known karateka over the years including Mr Shoimitsu, Miss Hayashi, Mr Kanazawa and Mr Enoda. In 1973 Ticky formed his own style of Karate known as Ishinryu which means ‘All of one Heart’ and is the current Head of the Ishinryu Karate Association. Ticky has been involved in British and English Karate as a competitor and coach; he won the British Championships Titles in 1973, 1974 and 1975 and in 1976 Ticky was part of the team that won the World Championships. He then went on to coach the teams that won the 1982, 84, 86, 88 and 90 World Championships an unprecedented five times. Ticky has coached many successful karate ka including Juliette and Gillian Toney, Wayne Otto, Greg Francis, Rory Daniels, Alton Brown, Natalie Williams to name just a few. After such a successful career Ticky was awarded the OBE in 1991 for services to karate. Ticky was awarded the grade of 9th Dan in 2009 by the England Karate Federation (EKF).
