HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Welcome back to all of our returning students and a big region 2 welcome to all of our new students joining us for a massive 2010.
I should start by introducing myself. My name is Sensei Daniel Taylor and I am the Regional Manager and Senior Instructor for region 2, which covers Western Sydney and the Hills area. I returned from the UK in August of last year after 6 ½ years there working as the Senior Instructor for Leicestershire and Peterborough. In this area I was lucky enough to look after well over 1000 students on a weekly basis. My Family and I decided it was time to return to Australia and have found ourselves feeling very welcome here, back in the area I trained in before heading to the UK back in 2003.
I feel strongly that we are all very much the same in GKR no matter where we are located. We all want to train hard, feel good and develop good strong karate. These reasons may vary from family to family but they all have a common theme; feeling good, and finding something that can help us to become in some way more than we are right now. With this in mind I am looking forward to playing some small part in your development either directly through instructor training or indirectly via your branch instructors.
Region 2 has a great reputation worldwide and I am looking forward to working with you all to continue that tradition. Some things have had to change logistically to help incorporate our expanding boundaries.
Please be aware of the changes to gradings and other special classes on offer this year (details can be viewed to further on this page).
I am in the process of confirming some seminar dates for the next few months which will also appear on this website as well as flyers at class.
Finally, please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions relating to your training, memberships etc. dtaylor@gkrkarate.com or 0421 211 765.
Yours in Karate
Sensei Daniel Taylor
