Kyoshi John Richards, Chairman and Chief Instructor of Zen-Shin Martial Arts Academy, started practising Karate in 1971. He achieved his 7th Dan in 2001. Although he is officially a 'Kyoshi' his students always refer to him as Sensei.
I have been involved in the martial arts for over 35 years and coached at international level. I coach students from Biginners up to pro level. in Katas and Kumite .Boxing. Kick Boxing and Self-defence .
Sensei hopes to be able to continue his work with his students thus increasing their abilities and awareness.
