Sensei Phil Mann
Yondan
I have practised karate since 1985, mostly under Sensei Pat O’Keeffe in Modka Karate Jutsu, a practical fighting style comprising elements of karate (Inshin Ryu, Wado Ryu, Goju Ryu & Kickboxing influences), Judo, Aikido, Ju-Jutsu and weapons. I gained my 1st Dan Black Belt in 1991 and achieved 2nd Dan in 1995.
Since January 2011, I have trained under Shihan Peter Wright in Goju-Kai Karate, and gained my 1st Dan in Goju-Kai in December 2012 and in 2014 I obtained my 2nd Dan Black Belt. My most recent achievement was taking my 4th Dan Black Belt under Shihan Pete Wright and the AMA Technical Committee

I started training with Sensei Pete, Simon and Bernie at the age of 16 in 2011. I achieved my first Dan in July 2014. Training with this club has been a big part of my life. I have always enjoyed karate and everything that entails, both physically and mentally, even when I’m playing the role of punch bag! The morals and attitude displayed by all Sensei and students are fantastic and mean I will be training for years to come.
