CHIEF INSTRUCTOR

FOUNDER AND CHIEF INSTRUCTOR 
He began to explore the world of karate in 1973, during his adolescence. Two years later, he joined the Japan Karate Association (JKA), as well as the Karate Union of Great Britain (KUGB) in the United Kingdoms. In the Devonshire city of Exeter, his official instructor was Sensei David Collocot. His official examiner at the time was Andy Sherry and the regional chief instructor Sensei Keinosuke Enoeda. Under the guidance of these well-known instructors, he trained and competed for several years in many regional competitions in England and the rest of Europe.

  

In Wales, 1979, he was awarded his SHO-DAN by chief instructor Sensei Keinosuke Enoeda, eighth-dan JKA. After rigorous local competitions, he was selected for the British Southwest team later that summer.

 

In January 1980, he moved to Montreal, Canada. He then received his NI-DAN from Sensei Takeshi Oishi and Sensei Sakurai at the University of Montreal, in 1981. Sensei Yasuo Sakurai had traveled to Quebec from Japan due to his dynamic karate techniques. Sensei Sakurai prepared Shahrokh for the Canadian Championships in Winnipeg in 1984.

He later attained his SAN-DAN from Masataka Mori sensei, Enoeda sensei, and Osaka sensei in the USA, and completed his two years of the 'Instructor's course' with Sensei Masataka Mori in Boston, New Haven New York, Albany, and Montreal; and eventually received his instructor, examiner and judging certifications from the Japan Karate Association (JKA) in 1995.

He was later awarded his YON-DAN by senseis Sugiura, Mori sensei, Enoeda sensei, and Ueki sensei in July 1995. And, in 2001, he received his GO-DAN  from Mori sensei, Ueki sensei, and Enoeda sensei in Connecticut, United States.

In 2010 he successfully achieved his ROKU-DAN from Master Masataka Mori.

In 2018 he awarded his NANA-DAN by Shihan Ueki and Imura sensei. 

Finally in October 2019 after attending the October Gasshuku master's seminar in Tokyo, he was awarded the
