Instructors
Continuous training is needed to advance and maintain a standard. We have very few blackbelts, especially with higher ranks.
The instructors below are recognized as having the skills to teach our syllabus and the principles applied within Jinen Karate Jitsu. They have given years of service and set high standards in skills and character and are great role models.

Max Bell - 4th Dan
Training since 1972 (18 years in Rob Dobson Karate)
Max began his training at Rob Dobson's Karate in 1972 and continued on into jujitsu with me many years later
His striking and kicking skills, the co-ordination and ability to show these skills makes him a great asset to the club.

Tony Materna - 1st Dan
Tony already holds a blackbelt from his former club and now after 8 years has shown himself to be a leader and great coach. He has supported others at their gradings and been to most of our training days. Tony also trained for fitness and kickboxing with members of "Team Machine", a support group for student Michael "Blocker" Fitzgerald during his cage fights.

People of the Szlagowski / Rob Dobson lineage
Rob Dobson students still training since 1972 are Max Bell, Brian Bellchambers, David Gooding and Kym Reid.
Blackbelts of the SKAi are presented the Szlagowski Karate patch.
Blue Belts Sue and Damien are also great role models. They turn up at every opportunity and work hard for their belts but also take on helping the beginners. Yiani Pana graded in the old Freestyle Jujitsu and now runs a martial arts business of his own.
