this photo was taken by my dear friend Dave Pridgeon (a fine Karateka and nervous Best Man LOL!) in my full time Dojo circa 1980. Ticky was at the time the UK National Coach and under his tutelage the British Team dominated European and World Karate for several years taking MANY individual and Team titles - including the World All-styles when it was really a World event and not the sad splintered situation we have now. Ticky is VERY stockily built but was so nimble, supple and fast he could dominate EVERYONE despite being retired from competition and recovering from Knee Surgery. He is an amazing Instructor and intuitively knows what to tell you to do to improve. A genius IMHO. Ticky was a welcome regular guest Instructor at my Dojo's. Great days and - That's me ont floor!

I am bemused that there has been no comments on Ticky and his widespread Karate Skills!

Even cross the pond we have read about Ticky, but it is strange that such a solid instructor is not writen about more. Sad too!
