A Partial History of Shihan's Training.
Shihan began his training in 1955, studying Chinese Martial Arts with first his father, and later his uncle. After a year in Tae Kwon Do and training in Judo and Boxing, a chance encounter led Shihan to Sosai Mas Oyama (sadly deceased in 1994).

So in 1965, set for a new adventure, Shihan left his native Singapore and moved to Japan to train full time under the Founder of Kyokushinkai Sosai Mas Oyama.

Practice was twice a day, six days a week, and training was harsh, sometimes even brutal. After one year, Shihan had to return to Singapore to deal with family issues. Once resolved, Shihan went straight back to Japan for more training. Such is his dedication to the Kyokushin way.

Training with Shihan
Shihan gives special advanced level and Instructor training on the last Wednesday of each month. In addition to this, special courses are organized through S.O.K.K. and are held periodically at different locations in Singapore.

Shihan personally oversees all gradings for Singapore, and thereby maintains the very high standard that is a trademark of Kyokushin Karate.
