SIMON WEBB (1st Dan)I started martial arts in 1976 with Shotokan Karate at Coalpit Heath, soon realizing through Kumite (sparring), that defense was the best attack. After moving to the Chalks Road Dojo, St George in 1978, I noticed men in skirts going to the upstairs Dojo. After watching my first Aikido Class, I was so impressed; I joined there and then at the tender age of 15. I haven’t looked back since!
