Sensei Dirk Heene 7th Dan
|
|
Following the death of Sensei Cattle, it was felt that no one could fill his shoes
so to speak, so as a result we do not have a Chief Instructor. However, we do have
the advice and experience of Sensei Dirk Heene 7th Dan, from Belgium. Sensei Heene
was one of Sensei Kase's senior students. Dirk is Technical Advisor to the English
Shotokan Academy and visits us regularly to teach our instructors and students.
Dirk Heene was born in Aalst (Belgium) on January 24th, 1949. Sensei Heene started his Karate
training in 1965 and was a member of the Belgian National Team from 1970 until 1980.
He graduated in Physical Education at the University of Ghent in June 1972 and is a
physical education and budo teacher in the secondary sports school in Hasselt. He is
an advisor and instructor in the Karate Instructor Course, organized by the government.
He is a member of the Shihankai of the SRKHIA and the technical director of the BKSA
(Belgian Karate-do Shotokan Academy).
