SENSEI JOHN MCINTOSH

Sensei John McIntosh began his martial arts training in 1968.  The first 2 years he studied judo but due to a relocation, found himself training in a French based style of karate. This fascinated him because of it's inherint philosphy and rigorous combative training and discipline.

Sensei McIntosh taught karate for many years and was then introduced to World Shotokan in Melbourne where he met Kasuya Sensei who graded him to 3rd Dan black belt. Recently (February 2010) Sensei McIntosh was also graded by Kasuya Sensei to Yondan (4th degree black belt).

Sensei McIntosh competed in all-styles competition until the age of 59 when a serious motor cycle accident curtailed his karate activities.  Having taught as a guest instructor at a number of ju-jitsu, aikido and goju ryu seminars, as well as participating in several SAS and self defence seminars, Sensei McIntosh has always been proud of his connection with Shotokan Karate and is looking forward with enthusiasm to rekindling his place with the World Shotokan Karate-do Federation.
