BEST OF THE BEST SOUTHERN ENGLAND KARATE LEAGUE 2010.
Dear Instructors
We would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to your club to participate in the TKA
Grater London Karate Championship. This event has been running for over 20 years, thanks to the
continued support of many groups. Over the years we have tried and tested many categories and feel
that we now hove an event, which offers something for everyone.
Some of our top association karate-ka will be attending the event and we hope you will join them. The
aim of the competition is to promote friendship and respect for one another and to give karate a
higher profile in the sporting arena. There are 5 competitions over the year each will take one day,
with 400 to 700 competitor’s men, women, boys and girls. Kata, Kumite, team Kata and team Kumite.
You will most certainly find this competition to be a wonderful experience for spectators and
competitors alike. Further suggestions regarding ways of improving the event, would be most
welcomed. Instructors should note that we are not providing Red and Blue mitts or belts this year.
Please ensure that competitors have their own mitts and belts on the day. It would be appreciated if
groups taking part could provide at least one Referee/judge or table official to help with the event.
However if you have any queries, then please do not hesitate to contact me. On behalf of the
organising committee we look forward to seeing you at this event.

The Birthday of Tatsuo Suzuki (8th Dan) Hanshi on the 27th April 1928. Principle Instructor of
the Wado International Karate-Do Federation (Wado Kokusai Karate-Do Renmei). Suzuki-Tatsuo was
born in Yokohama, Japan on the 27th April 1928. At 10 years old the family moved to Ushigome,
Tokyo. At 13 they moved to Hamamatsu, his father's original home town. His first style of Karate was
Shito-ryu, at his high school. He started training at the Yokohama YMCA Wado-ryu Karate Club at the
age of 17 under a student of Hironori-Ohtsuka, known as Kimura. Kimura was reputed to be the best
student of Ohtsuka-Hironori at that time. Suzuki-Tatsuo trained regularly with Ohtsuka-Hironori, as he
visited the YMCA regularly.
Suzuki-Tatsuo was awarded 5th Dan in 1951 for outstanding courage and
ability. In 1965 he was awarded 7th Dan, the highest grade ever awarded, by the Zen Nippon Karate
Renmei (all Japan Karate Federation). In 1975 he was awarded 8th Dan by the All-Japan Karate-do
Organisations (Wadokai) and the title of 'Hanshi', which was awarded to him by a member of the
Emperor Higashikuni family.
In 1963, with the assistance of Arakawa-Toru and Takashima-Hajime, Suzuki-Tatsuo introduced
Wado-ryu Karate to the UK, Europe and the USA. In 1965 he returned to England where he set up his
European Headquarters. Amongst his titles he holds; 2nd Dan in Tenshin-Koryu Bo-jutsu and 1st Dan
in Judo. He has also studied Zen doctrine with the high priests, Genpo-Yamamoto and Soyen-
Nakagawa.
