The Origin of Su-Ha-Ri

The Su-Ha-Ri Karate School was founded in the early 1970s by Mick Robins who was a loyal student of Master Tatsuo Suzuki. Today Su-Ha-Ri is organised and managed by Principal Instructor, Sensei Jon Wicks 8th Dan who has continued the line of students loyal to Sensei Suzuki.

Su-Ha-Ri to-date has produced over 60 black belt students, all whom have been personally instructed by Sensei Wicks. The club has a pedigree of competition winners including many World, European and National champions.
