Full Name: Frank Nezhadpournia

Started Training: In 1982 Bedfordshire after a friend asked me to go along to keep him company. He did not enjoy it and I am still going! Thanks Paul!

Style: Traditional Shotokan Karate

Interests: Karate, reading, music, and family life.

Ambition: To perform techniques well, Basically not thinking just reacting!




What makes me smile: my students and Ellie the dog!

Favourite Film: The karate Kid, loved the storyline old handy man / secret master - stubborn, naive student wants a quick fix to problems by learning to kick and punch!

Dislikes: Naive people who do not understand the merits to training and see beyond simply kicking and punching - Politics especially in Martial Arts!
