Founder Ivan Todd

I am the Founder of Black Panther Karate Club. I, like many other adults, started my karate because of my daughter Gabrielle. She constantly pressed me to join, and finally when she received her green belt I graciously accepted the invitation and never looked back.

I loved the training and trained three times a week under Sensei P. Wolstencroft. I am extremely grateful and fortunate to now be running Black Panther Karate Club. I am now in training for my 3rd Dan under Sensei Alan Wood, (6th Dan) who is a great instructor and has 45 years experience. The club was founded on the strength of the good people around me, you can see who by reading other profiles. I believe we have the very best people we could wish for, so should you be looking for a very good karate club to join, you found us!!
