Sensei Fieldhouse, Tipton Shotokan Karate

Sensei Oliver has given me so much in so little time, he opened many doors to my current thinking. I only wish I had met him in my early days of training ....

Sensei Oliver is one of the worlds leading Karate/Kobudo exponents with undeniable knowledge and a deep insight in the arts both practical and historical.

If you have wondered why, if or how or looking for a new insight into martial arts, then you should train with him.

Karate has to be affective otherwise you are not learning a martial art.
I have trained with many senior Instructors and studied Shotokan and kobudo for 27yrs and Sensei Oliver has given me so much in so little time, he opened many doors to my current thinking. I only wish I had met him in my early days of training.

Regardless of style or grade, you will learn something valuable from this him. Not only a great Instructor, he is very loyal and honourable. He is everything a martial arts master should be.

Simon has always been a hard trainer and developed into an excellent teacher ...

I've known Simon for many years now, from way back in the old Nottingham days when I was a student of Asano sensei, and remember my visits to Simon's Dojo to train with Terry O'Neil. Simon has always been a hard trainer and developed into an excellent teacher, not losing sight of the realities of his art!
