Bert and Ross go to Hong Kong

Senseis Ross Frame and Bert Ford have recently arrived back in the UK after a successful trip to Hong Kong. Sensie Ford competed in a full contact karate competition and took gold and Sensei Frame taught two seminars at the famous 'Impakt' Gym, Co. run by James Kouame (S.E Asia Knockdown Champ and No 1 rated heavyweight) and Alain Ngalani (K1 & Planet Battle World Champ.) Kevin Don, former Tei Karate - ka and now 2nd Dan Kyokshin, who works as a trainer in the gym, organised the trip. Sensei Ross went down a bomb and at one point everyone on the class burst into clapping when he jumped over a students head doing a roundhouse kick, the boss has not lost it by any means. Sensei Ford trained with Sensie Ross for his fight and won the senior black belt Hong Kong full contact title. Not bad for both being in their 50s!!

During the visit the Tei Senseis also attended a K1 event where Bob Sapp fought their host Alain in a 4000 seat stadium. They also attended a Thai show at the same venue they held the full contact karate show.

Ross has been invited by Alain, James and Kevin back, early 2010, to do a series of seminars and some personal coaching; while there, he hopes to organise a 'friendly' knockdown match between Tei and Hongkong Kyokshin later in late 2010 or early 2011 ( in Hong Kong.) Ross and Bert would like to thank all at Impakt, especially Alain, John and Kevin, for their outstanding hospitality. Osu!!

( p.s.nearly forgot to thank champion Thai Boxer Irshad Sayed(in photo with Ross) for giving up his bed for Bert / sleeping on couch and putting up with the "turmoil"..thanks!)

Welcome

The Tei Karate Association has been providing the highest standard of instruction in both traditional Shotokan Karate and mixed martial arts in Glasgow and throughout Scotland since the 1980s.

We have a superb caliber of instructors with the likes of Ross Frame (7th Dan), Paul Harrison (6th Dan) and Bert Ford (6th Dan) within our association with national and international honours to their names, both in Kumite, (WKF Rules and Knock Down) and Kata.

For more information on our association and the Karate Clubs which are located in Bearsden, Blantyre, Glasgow and Fife please click the links to the left.

Our classes are ideal for getting you back on track and with session fees ranging from between £3.00 to £4.00, paid on the night, (if you don't train you don't pay) it is a much cheaper way of getting fitter and stronger than paying for personal trainers or joining gyms.
