These old film clips show Terry O'Neil - Bob Poynton - Steve Cattle and a young Frank Brennan. Poynton, Cattle and Brennan give a nice team kata performance in Bremen (Germany) and Frank Brennan shows his fighting skills at the same event. There's also some clips from an early KUGB National Championship (Crystal Palace) and despite the film being deliberately down graded, it's still worth a viewing. Those were the days...!

  • Great Stuff! Karate in the good old days when the spirit was alive.

    I particularly loved watching the three girls June Simpson, Wai Yin Hatten and Sandy Hopkins perform. I do believe this is the world championships in Bremen?

  • @Jooney0 - Yes you're correct on both counts - 'the good old days - and yes it is Bremen.
