John Richards
Shihan John Richards, chairman and chief instructor of Zen-Shin started practising Karate in 1971. He achieved his 7th Dan in 2001. Although he is officially a 'Shihan' his students always know him as Sensei.
Since 1990 Sensei has devoted himself to his first love, which is teaching Karate to his students and establishing a full time Martial Arts Centre and running the association of which he is chairman.
Sensei has also produced two videos, which cover the dynamic style of Karate, which is his trademark. The first video covers beginners' Karate and Katas, the second shows advanced Katas and their application. It also covers self-defence for the Karate-ka (one who practices Karate).
As Sensei looks at the new millennium he hopes to be able to continue his work with his students increasing their abilities and awareness.
