Jason first discovered Shukokai Karate in 1989 after watching a demonstration by then World Heavy Weight Champion Sensei George Mcnally 3rd Dan. The demonstration impressed Jason with the speed and power that was created with kicks and punches. Jason worked hard for the next few years and had great success competing at national competitions. He was rewarded with a place on the British Squad for the 1992 World Championships in Portugal. Jason was then awarded his Black Belt by Sensei Kimura at the World Championships after reaching the quarter final stage in the individual kumite and being part of the mens Gold medal squad. He then went on to represent Great Britain at the next World Championships in the U.S.A, again Jason reached the quarter final stage and received a Silver medal in the mens team event.
Jason was awarded his 2nd Dan in 1995, 3rd Dan in 2001 and received the rank of 4th Dan in 2006. He has many years experience in developing students to reach their full potential.
