Coming soon Leicester Karate Club 60th anniversary free exhibition
Just heard the sad news that Jim McNair who was a 2nd dan at Leicester Karate Club in the 70's and early 80's died last week. Our thoughts and sympathies to his family and friends. I remember him as a very tough black belt. It was always a test facing him in on the mats!
