Chief Instructor Rolo

At Kaisho Ryu we are both proud and inspired to have ‘Rolo’ as our chief instructor and technical director. He has been training in combat martial arts for over 45 years and has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

He started with Wado Ryu and then in the late sixties he was introduced to (the late great Mori Warrior) Gary Spiers and started training in Okinawan Goju Ryu later to be applied karate. He became one of Gary’s senior instructors and a very close personal friend of the great man

He has also trained in other disciplines and successfully produced 5 national and international World Kick Boxing champions under the world kickboxing association (W.K.A) banner. He is also an experienced judged and referee

For many years he ran his own clubs producing students (including myself) that now have their own schools and systems. He has recently in conjunction with two former S.A.S. special forces members set up a combat training camp and martial arts gym in Asia he has also been involved in training members of the Police Forces in close range combat.

He also found that his close range combat skills both mentally and physically paid dividends in controlling various situations he had to manage, for various venues using practical applications in real life situations to maintain the peace as and when necessary.
