“Karate in sports is only a game of winning or losing but the true value of Karatedo is really the art of self-defense”…..George Tan

It was 1970 and I was 16 years old when I first started learning karate. What I really wanted to learn then was Judo. As it turned out, the Judo uniform was too expensive and that was how I ended up with karate. Sometimes life does not give you what you want as there are better things in store for you.

Within 4 years, with a black belt in hand, I started teaching at the Confucius School on Sunday mornings and afternoons. By 1975/76, together with Sensei Poon, we had an opportunity to start a school in St John’s Institution. Our classes were around 100 students strong and to this day, students from St John’s would still remember legacy we left behind.

Throughout my karate history, I have had the good fortune to not only teach but to advance my art. I have also been involved in the development of karate at the national level firstly through representing the country in sporting events, then later through chairing associations and bodies. I have served as President to Asia Pacific Shiroryu Karatedo Federation taking care of 27 member countries. I steer away from the politics that surround associations of such nature. To me money has never been my drive. I sincerely have the passion to teach all levels from the white belts to the black belts.
