HISTORY

PICTURES AND EXPERIENCES.

It all started at the images health studio,training with steve joseph.
i had tried karate,though found it quite restrictive and traditional,i enjoyed the training,but was not too impressed.wado ryu,then a short try at judo? my joints suffered under a hard regime,it was not for me!
kickboxing and sun kune do,it was a revelation,as i had tried boxing,to no great level,now i found something to realy grab my attention,a complete system
both effective and practicle.

IMAGES HEALTH STUDIO

1887-8

the picture is of rob in 88, sparring with one of his clasmates.
this was at an early part of his training, when he was just a green belt.
classes were very buisy, often there would be up to thirty students at any time?
were are they all now?  if you were a student of Sun Kune Do,  why not contact rob via e mail, it would be good to hear from you?

class work in the early days, did you train with rob at the images health studio back in the 80s and 90s?
we are always interested in what you are doing now? steve and rob are still teaching,and we wish all of our old training partners would get in touch?
images health studio closed in the mid 90s, it is now master lokes studio and he teaches tang soo do.

were you here? langdon park community centre? did you train here?
the classes are still being held there, on mondays from 7.30pm,old students are allways welcome.

SUN KUNE DO.
this is a multi style system,devised by steve joseph,we at chadwell use a very simmular system.
it is effective and very usefull as a means of self defence,and highly efective in combat?this system has produced many champions both full contact & light contact! 

langdon park community centre poplar east london.
this was an early promtion staged by bill judd.
i remeber being terrified,as this was to be the venue for my first fight?
as it happened, i was not able to fight as my opponent didnt turn up?
