“Chris is a great karate-ka, with a deep understanding of the art" - Matthew Miller (2nd Dan EKF & Author of 'Fighting Forms')“
It took all but two seconds around Chris and I knew straight away his attitude regarding the arts. He sets the tone for a truly great dojo that’s heavily based in tradition, but not at all stagnant. There’s no doubt we are both singing from the same hymn book” - Kris Wilder (4th Dan Goju-Ryu & author of 'The Way of Sanchin Kata')
“Chris is one of the few who examines our art in the depth that it deserves. With a growing national profile, it is only a matter of time before he is working globally, which will be to the benefit of martial artists the world over” - Iain Abernethy (5th Dan BCA & author of 'Bunkai Jutsu')
“Having someone with such high levels of expertise, coupled with a great thirst for knowledge is a real asset to the Chojinkai organisation” - Doug James (7th Dan WKF)
"I personally feel that what Chris is teaching is amazing. He has a unique way of explaining the hidden bunkai (applications) in kata and introduces a new angle to 'traditional' training that is so effective and worthwhile" - Paul Hurst (1st Dan EKW)
“If Chris continues to explore the unchartered, it will no doubt in the future, place him in the company of such notable researchers as Harry Cook, Steve Morris and the late great Don Draeger” - Paul Clifton (Managing Director of Combat Magazine)
"The recent seminar I attended with Chris was very interesting & useful. He is very informative, creative & inspiring to be around. Having practiced traditional karate in the past, Chris shed light on many of my own opinions of Kata applications that were taught by unimaginative instructors which, at the time, made absolutely no sense what so ever. I really appreciate his open mindedness, which so many traditional instructors seem to lack" - Trevor Mossop (2nd Dan Bugeisha Freestyle Karate)
"I have been studying Karate under Chris for a number of years and always find it an awesome experience. I personally hold the level of his training and patience in the highest esteem" - Peter Hinde (5th Kyu E.S.K.K)
