While chatting recently with the National Secretary about the next examination session, Enrolled member, Stephen McCann of Forth Demolition Ltd, let it slip that he is a Kyokushin-kan Karate instructor and had taken part in the World Championships in Budapest in October.
Stephen comments, "Kyokushin is full contact so you need to win by knockout or a decision, similar to boxing but with no gloves."
The pictures show Stephen taking part in the championships and also the McCann family with Semmi Schilt, three times K-1 World Champion. "Nathaniel looks tiny in Semmi's hands." says Stephen. Semmi is 2.11 metres tall!!
We hope to bring more news about Stephen after his annual visit to Japan next year for the camp which international instructors attend for gradings and updating on any changes to the syllabus.
