Richard Burford 3rd Dan Karate

I started martial arts at the age of 11 in August 1986 due to being bullied at school. I began training in Kenilworth, Warwickshire in a style called Sakiado under the name of Peter Baines. This style of martial art was basically Korean based. Starting a martial art could not have been better as it gave me a huge boost in confidence. After a number of year’s I began to filter away from this establishment in order to join a freestyle organisation named U.K.A.S.K.O. (The United Kingdom All Styles Karate Organization.) It was through this organisation where I gained my black belt in 1994. From here on in the club I was affiliated to linked up to another freestyle organization & from here on in we began to formulate our own system of fighting. All the way through my martial arts career I have trained under an able-bodied syllabus, the reason I mention this is that I have a weakness on the left side of my body. The medical term for this is called Heamopleagic. This is down to slight scarring on the right hand side of my brain that mirrors over to the left hand side of my body. I am pleased to say I have managed so far and will continue to do so that I have reached a 3rd Dan status.

He achieved 1^st Dan black belt in 1989 after 4 years of training in ”Shotokan Karate”, despite a physical disability.  He started a small club in 1990 based in Holt Village Hall and over the years built up a good following of students. During the years (1990-2004) he produced over 60 black belts of various ages, all of whom were externally ratified, but always he has concentrated on his own personal development and progression.  For example, he took 2nd dan in 1991 with Japanese master Enoeda who has since passed away; 3rd dan with the BSKU under George Carruthers 6th Dan; 4th dan with the IKA whom he represented in Europe from 1994-1999.  At the end of 2003 early 2004 he applied to take 5th Dan grade in karate, with the WORLD KARATE-DO ORGANISATION (WKO) and KOKUSAI BUTOKU KENKYUKAI ASSOCIATION (KBKA).  Following a visit to the WKO headquarters for a personal assessment and after nearly a year of waiting, the certificates from both organisations came through the post just before Christmas 2004 and so made a lovely surprise present.  During those years from 1994 he started developing the system called “Reikijutsu”, which he based upon the principles of various art forms. He has taught this art form in Russia, USA, Australia, Malta and the UK.  Andy Wright's continual personal improvement saw him complete a "child protection awareness" course at Wiltshire College in November/December 2004, followed by many other professional qualifications (in holistic therapies and sports).  He is an “EKGB” / “KE” registered instructor and is an active member of the Toyakwai Association (TKA) and the British Karate Clubs Confederation (BKCC). In 2006, because he was teaching Chi Kung (Qigong), he joined the Tai Chi and Chi Kung Forum and at the AGM was elected to the Steering Group as “webmaster”. His first task was to revamp the website portal.  His second task was to attend the required courses and qualify as a TCCKF Tutor. He is now actively involved in promoting the benefits of tai chi to special needs and disability groups and this involves teaching 8+ classes per week, both privately and in day care and special school settings.          Andy also offers tutoring in “Disability Awareness” and “Personal Safety” to anyone who wishes to hire him.  See www.trainingthewrightway.co.uk for details.
