Itosu Anko, Born in Gibo Village, Shuri, Okinawa, in 1831, Master Ankō Itosu was was instrumental in the introduction of karate into Okinawa's schools.

Died 11 March 1915

Master Itosu was a student of Master Sōkon Matsumura and one of the main influences on Master Gichin Funakoshi.

Many of the forms (Hyung) you practice we modified by Master Itosu. He even changed Bassai but called it Bassai Cho so it was different to Bassai Dai.

Bassai Cho (Sho - Japanese) Storming the Fortress (lesser or small) rather than the bold and strong moves in Bassai Dai, Master Itosu aimed to exhibit an inner calm and energy.

Master Moodie is offering a special device free 45 minutes at Green Hammerton. Exercise helps sleep and concentration span.

Master Crocker will be at Grange Park Rugby Club for an hour. We can call this class a starter class. Bring along a new starter. Be a new starter. Share this message and give someone information about our club.

What happens if you merge the fighting style of Karate with Aikido?

Mostly sore elbows, wrists and bruises where you wouldn’t think you can get bruises!

This is Master Crocker with his friend Master Jim Walker.

Did you know that Bruce Lee developed a martial arts called Jeet Kune Do (translated: Way of the Intercepting Fist). He would train in Jeans and a T-shirt as he correctly pointed out no one attacks you and waits for you to change into your Dobok. Jeet Kune Do heavily relies on fitness. Bruce Lee was from Hong Kong and there is a statue of him along the Harbour walk.

The 6th Rule : No shirts, no shoes.

Come on and train with Master Moodie and Mr Inglis at Boroughbridge tonight.

Parents want to watch? Take your shoes off and stand up - rule 6. T-shirts or a Dobok will be acceptable.

Unlike the reference we want you to talk about Karate at Boroughbridge. Can you find a way of introducing Karate to a friend or even a colleague at work?
