SSKO INSTRUCTORS

"I am very proud to be an instructor with the SSKO.

"Many people see me as an example of what can be achieved in the martial arts as both a younger person and as a female.

"What they don't know is that the best is yet to come!"

Sensei Amelia Enfield - 1st Dan

Amelia began her training in Karate when she was only 9 years old, and quickly stood out from her fellow students, as she began to help teach at the age of 11!

Coming from a background of Gojo-Ryu karate, Amelia looked for some variety in her martial arts, and so began her training in Wado-Ryu under Sensei Paul Bowles in early 2006. Shortly afterwards she ceased her training with Gojo-Ryu, and began focusing solely on her Wado-Ryu training with the S.S.K.O.

Soon Amelia's leadership skills shone through, and she began to assist in teaching the younger students at the Bishops Waltham class, and as a result Sensei Bowles was delighted to show commitment to Amelia by promoting her to Cadet Instructor in July 2006.

Amelia was promoted to Assistant Instructor in July 2007 after a year's training as a Cadet Instructor.

You can meet Amelia at most of the training sessions, and any of the day courses.

She has a strong reputation in tournaments, especially in the Kumite (sparring).

Amelia recently gained her 1st Dan Black Belt, and in a short space of time has become a well respected student and instructor within the S.S.K.O.
