The Bill Tanikie Award
Bill Tanikie was an inspirational man and anyone who knew Bill would agree that no one was more committed to the martial arts.
Although I have had numerous Instructors, I will always consider Bill to be my main Instructor and more importantly, my friend.
Sadly, Bill passed away in 2004.
The Bill Tanikie Award has been presented for the first time this year. It was awarded to the student who has shown the most inspiration and commitment throughout the year.
I am pleased to announce that David Watkins was the recipient of this years award. Well done David. You thoroughly deserve the award.
