Sensei Iain Tyrie
6th Dan IASK (awarded in 2014)
Sensei Tyrie first started training in the BKA under Sensei Mick Payne in 1974. After several years break , during when he obtained a Degree in Biological Sciences, he re-started with SKI in 1981, training with Sensei's Charlie Potter, Tiru Maniam (Chief Instructor SKIIF Malaysia), Les and Simon O'Donnell. He obtained his Shodan from Kancho Kanazawa in 1989. Leading up to this period he trained with Sensei's Kanazawa, Asano, Kasuya, and Koga. He also trained with Vince Morris and Paul Perry (and spent 3 months training in Wadu Ryu while training to be a teacher in Nottingham).
In 1989 Sensei Tyrie first trained with Sensei Adamou and decided to join the newly formed N.A.S.K (now I.A.S.K) after seeing how close Sensei Adamou's techniques were to Kancho Kanazawa.
Sensei Tyrie ran the St. George's School Karate club in Harpenden from 1989 to 2000 (where he taught Biology and was Head of House).
Sensei Tyrie has continued to train in Shotokan Karate, and in addition to the above named instructors has trained with Sensei's Sumi, Murakami and Akita, as well as senior UK instructors Terry O'Neill, Robert Sidoli and Richard Amos. (Sensei Tyrie was recognised as a 3rd Dan by the JKA in 1998 and was for several years Assistant Instructor with Sensei Fred Daniels JKL).
After "retiring" from teaching Karate in 2000 ( though still training and doing some instructing) Sensei Tyrie was persuaded to start a new club in 2006 - and "Shintai" was born!
