Welcome to Okami Martial Arts, We live in an increasingly stressful and violent society. Each day we go through life with the same humdrum routine, along with our anxieties, fears, doubts and concerns. By training in martial arts, we can strengthen our minds and bodies to prepare us for life's obstacles.

Training with Okami will give you the opportunity to turn all this negativity around us, into an empowering positive one. It will help your children say NO to negative peer pressure, and teach them how to focus and concentrate. You will see increases in physical fitness, flexibility, confidence, self esteem & self-defence awareness.

Our schools are overseen and directed by 5th degree black belt Ozel Osman. Sensei Osman (Sensei is Japanese for Teacher) began studying the martial arts way back in 1973. He had experienced a bit of bullying at school and both he and his parents thought it would be a good idea to learn some self-defense.

Little did they know how important that decision would become in young Ozel's life!

Seven years later, in 1980, Sensei earned his first degree black belt. Now completely absorbed in his study of the martial arts, he began making training trips to Japan where he sought out and studied with some of the world's most renowned master's of karate.

Over the years, besides a rather rigorous personal training schedule, Sensei attended a wide variety of instructor training courses here at home and abroad; most memorably with National Team Coach, Sensei Ticky Donovan.

Sensei Osman competed at local, national and international tournaments, most proudly representing England on the Goju-Kai team and with a number of successes in individual and team forms (kata) and sparring (kumite). Sensei also trained in Muay Thai boxing in Thailand (read: hard work) and was, honored as Castle Point Sports Personality of the Year.

Sensei Osman is a qualified Massage Therapist to ITEC standards and has enhanced CRB disclosure (child protection).

"It is an honor and a privilege to be a martial arts teacher. I try to teach with a balance of humor, play, intensity, and focus. My goal is to treat my students with more respect than they treat me –and to serve as a role model for them not as a karate teacher, but as a compassionate and engaged human being. That is what I have learned from my teachers, both in and out of the martial arts –and it has become my mission in life to pass it on."
