9th Dan Shotokan Karate  -   9th Dan Ju Jitsu

Ronnie Colwell … a name just  like other  names with  one exception.  He is an extraordinary person, a living legend in  today’s  world of  karate.  Personally I consider myself very lucky to  have struck such an acquaintance. Sensei Colwell used to accompany my instructor  (late Sensei C Williams ) several years ago when in Malta.

Sensei Colwell’s  vast repertoire of  knowledge  reveals years  of  arduous  training.  I  used to feel his penetrating gaze scanning the dojo . . .  it was  palpable, there was no beating  about  the bush  when  he was around.  He explains in detail  and in the most simple  ways such that  difficult tasks turn  out to be  the easiest!  Very calm in nature and  no  one  ever  gets fed up in his company.   The   way  he narrates  his  past and present events keeps you attentive and eager for more.

A  marvelous  character  and a  striking one  also. His discipline , kindness and sense of humour  are  intertwined in  such a way that, believe  me,  it is a must  that  you get  to know him!!  I recall my first lesson with him, going back seventeen years.  The topic  was   ‘ Domination “   - controlling  your aggressor through just eye - contact. I’ll never  forget his piercing gaze as he explained to each one of us present.

Karate is his life. Sensei Colwell  inspires anyone  in touch  with him.   His  charisma  influences anyone at any age, even children loves him. He is well  known worldwide  and represents  several martial arts organizations  amongst  which is the Japan Institute. Sensei Colwell is also the President of our school - SKSM Karate Malta.

Undoubtedly,   Sensei’s   affection  goes   to  Nicoh, a   wonderful   cuddly Japanese Akita. Sensei is extremely fond of him  and  wherever  he  goes, Nicoh follows, no   matter   what!     A  fantastic  dog  that any animal lover would fall in  love with.   

One of Sensei’s wish is that of  sharing his vast  knowledge of  karate with all instructors who are willing to learn  and commit themselves in the study of this fascinating art.    Sensei Colwell has  helped  me  to discover  more the true  essence  of karate-do  and  the existing illusions in  today’s  world. 

I sincerely suggest that you visit  his informative website and of course he will be delighted to hear from you!
