Nidan (2nd Dan)

Lee Batchelor

Initially took up martial arts, at the age of 24, looking for a means of learning self-defence as result of being a victim of an unprovoked attack.

Started off with boxing for about two years, then switched to Shukokai karate in 1997. Initially graded to Shodan (1st Dan) in Shukokai in 2002, then switched to Sankukai in 2003.

Martin

Martin has always shown an ‘armchair interest’ in martial arts, growing up in the Bruce Lee era. Then in 2005, upon meeting Lee Batchelor shopping in a Sainsbury’s store, whilst wearing his gi, struck up a conversation, citing his interest in karate and the karate club. Martin turned up for the club’s next lesson and has never looked back since…
