We dont see Sensei O'Neill at the Brisbane Dojo all that often these days. He assisted our team with prep for the 9th World Tournament but the last time I saw him was the shodan grading in September '06.

The bloke has pretty much been doing karate full on most of his life and after a successful career is just winding down.

Its good when he comes to the dojo though. Seems to lift the morale.

Hi,

does anyone know his height and his weight? I'm very interested, cause you can read everywhere that he had the most bang for buck?

Osu and thanks!

From memory he's probably 5' 8" or 5' 9" and middleweight (70-80kg), correct me if I'm wrong anyone!
