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!
