It is a pleasure to know Jamie both as a fellow karateka and friend. He is enthusiastic both in his teaching and in his study of karate. I am sure that anyone that trains with as a student or partner will be impressed by his enthusiasm and his passion. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor, or just wishing to visit his club.
Colin Steel – 4th Dan Karate,
"Jamie Gray has been a regular on my seminars, has visited my home dojo to train, and is one of the small number to complete my introductory instructors course in kata application and applied karate. He is one of the "new breed" of karateka who stays true to the traditional principles of karate whilst ensuring its relevance to the needs of the modern world. I have no hesitations recommending Jamie to all seeking instruction in the combative side of karate"
Iain Abernethy 5th Dan (Mar-2009)
“I rescind all previous endorsements of Jamie and wish to formally disassociate myself from him all the he stands for. If you want to know all that is wrong with the world then look no further than Jamie Gray”
Iain Abernethy 6th Dan
And now for the real one ;-) ….
“Jamie Gray – a full instructor with me – is one of a small number of people who I would unreservedly recommend to those wishing to practise traditional karate in a pragmatic and holistic fashion. Jamie’s ceaseless desire to further his own knowledge and the open approach of Musashi Karate has put the group at the cutting edge. Jamie also has a great sense of humour and his warm and friendly nature is reflected in the group he heads as chief instructor.”
Iain Abernethy 6th Dan (Oct 2010)
An experienced Karate-ka in a traditional style, Jamie is an exemplary, committed and dedicated instructor.
Passionate for the growth and development of pragmatic martial arts and enthusiastic to travel to seminars and courses, his positive attitude and friendly approach makes him a pleasure to be around.
I have trained and taught with him and can truly recommend him as an instructor that fully embodies the true essence of karate.
