 |
Sensei Raistrick began Karate training in Shukokai Karate in 1980 at the age of 7. Initially under the guidance of Sensei Abdu Shaher (7th Dan, EKGB vice president, former world champion and head regional coach) and Sensei Said Shaher (5th dan). The club was a member of the Shukokai Karate Union (SKU) until Sokudo Karate and Kiyoo-No Karate were formed.
Sensei Raistrick gained his Shodan (1st Dan) in 1991, and chose to further his karate training with the Kiyoo-No Karate Association with Sensei Said Shaher (5th Dan), Steve Burke (5th Dan) and Andy Buckley (3rd Dan). He gained his 2nd Dan in 1993 and became a Senior Instructor/Referee, and gained his 3rd Dan in 1996.
Sensei Raistrick left Kiyoo-No Karate 1998 and trained (and co-instructed) locally at Easterside Karate Academy with colleague Jaga Singh (3rd Dan). He set up the Teesside Academy Shukokai Karate (T.A.S.K.) in Thornaby - Teesside, and was awarded his 4th Dan in November 2003 by Sensei Dave Sharkey (7th Dan) E.K.O. Chairman and Chief Instructor, and went on to become an E.K.O. National Coach in March 2004.
Recently Sensei Raistrick was instrumental in the formation of Taisho-Do Karate, which is now a member of the Federation of English Karate Organisations (F.E.K.O.), Karate England & B.N.M.A.A via Karate International Black Belt Schools (K.I.B.B.S) and Sensei Steve Leak.
