| About the Instructor and the club | ||||||
|
Kasai-ryu translated means 'Fire Dragons' My name is Sharon. I am a 4th Dan (Black belt) and have been practicing Karate for 25 years, out of that, I have been teaching men, women and children for approx. 15 years. Throughout the years, I have won various trophies for 'Kumite' and 'Kata' and in 2009 awarded my 4th Dan. There are very few female club instructors (Clubs run solely by a females) in Swansea. I
started back in 1985 my ‘mentor’ and instructor was
Roberto "Swede" Mastrangeli, a 5th Dan and European
Karate Champion. He had both my respect and admiration, and
in return he gave me respect too. It was he who gave me the
confidence and the will to succeed in a sport that back then
was dominated by boys and men. (When I joined there were
hardly any females in the association). It is to him I owe my
gratitude for his belief in me and my ability, and his
knowledge of which I intend to pass down. Sadly for us and everyone who knew him, he died in 1994 after a long battle
against Cancer. That club is now run by my brother Hugh
"Bungie" Ruse 5th Dan. He is now my instructor.
