The Bournemouth Karate Instructors
Sensei Ernie Molyneux, 7th Dan
Sensei Ernie took his Shodan in 1978 under of Sensei James Rousseau and his 7th Dan in 2002, with an impressive list of national and international championship titles to his name. As the senior instructor of the Bournemouth Karate Academy, his enthusiasm and commitment to his students is respected and appreciated by all those that have the privilege to train with him. There are few people in the country that possess his level of martial arts knowledge. As the EGKA Chief Instructor for England and a member of the IOGKF executive committee, Sensei Ernie continues to enjoy working on the international platform with the other world-ranking exponents of the style to preserve and promote Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-Do for future generations.
Sensei Nick Burr, 6th Dan
Sensei Nick has trained with Sensei Ernie for many years and was awarded his 6th Dan in Okinawa in 2008. His attention to technical detail is legendary.
Having also trained in Judo, Sensei Nick manages to weave the elements of his expertise in this discipline into some of our regular sessions to demonstrate how Goju-Ryu techniques can be extended to many ground work techniques using different holds and locks.
Sensei Damian Burr, 5th Dan
Sensei Damian has also trained and graded with Sensei Ernie for many years.
Sensei Damian is most likely to be associated with providing the small words of encouragement we all need when our confidence fails us. The inevitable consequence of training in a dojo led by three exceptional instructors and where the first two rows of the dojo are nearly always black belts striving for the higher Dan grades themselves.
