Hey Vin2ko,
Welcome to MT. As a 'Pom' now living Down under I'm interested to know who you train with ?
I started with the Shokukai back in 1974 in Manchester and reached Nidan. I took off for Okinawa a few years later and have been training in goju-ryu ever since.
I expect I'll know the people you train with?
All the best,
Mike.

Can't say I know of your instructor, Lee Coffey.
It might help if you let me know a little more about just where in the U.K. you are training? Can't say I've ever heard of Den-to-kai either?
You do know that the Shukokai is not a 'style' of karate, but the name of an organization set up by the late Chojiro Tani sensei in 1948. I know a lot of people use the name, but you can't really train in Shukokai karate. Mr Tani's style of karate was Tani-ha Shito-ryu, and that you can train in if you follow his teachings.
If you are a member of the Shukokai [as i was], then you will hold a nidan in Tani-ha Shito-ryu.
I'm from Manchester and my sensei [and still good friend] was Tomiyama Keiji sensei. I passed my shodan test in 1978 and my nidan two years later in 1980.
Who is Mr. Coffey's sensei?
Keep punching!
Mike.
