Shihan Howard Collins was the first to do the 100 man kumite compulsorily in one day. Hanshi Steve Arneil did his all in one day first.

shihan collins is a british legend, if you look at any of the footage of the day including some of the original japanese videos he looks like a character from "the sweeney"..which for those of you who have never seen it was a police series in the 70`s

Osu! Hasbeen,

LOL not sure he'll thank you for that!

By all accounts he's still very fit and doing a great job in Sweden.

OSU GARY!!

great to hear he`s still very fit, i think it was in the"strongest karate" where he is filmed crossing the road and getting into something like an old ford granada,if you`ve seen the clip you`ll know what i mean

Osu! Hasbeen,

I've got the DVD - I know what you mean. He's signing an autograph for a youngster but somehow looks like he's writing him a ticket. Maybe it's his Police Service ....

A recent visitor spoke to me about him after going to his Dojo - he was very impressed!
