Ambassador's
Sensei Rob Tyler 4th Dan Karate (UK)
Rob started his karate training in the mid eighties at the local Renshinkai karate club before eventually joining the Peterborough Shinboku karate club. He has competed in many competitions in the past in free fighting (kumite) and Kata and won the Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire titles. He is often known as the joker of the pack and once had a crucial point deducted whilst fighting Shaun in the Lincolnshire Open for showboating and trying to give him a kiss. He is a crucial part of the senior instructors not only with his technical skills but his talent of taking the micky, keeping everyone’s feet firmly on the ground.
