Sensei Antonio Oliva Seba 8th Dan
Wed 4th July 2012
7.30 – 9.30
Denbigh High School, Alexandra Ave, Luton. LU3 1HE 


Sensei Antonio Oliva Seba is one of the pioneers of European Martial Arts and a world leader in the study and teaching of tactics. He took the National Team of Spain from total anonymity, to taking 10 individual medals at the World Championships 1980


Sensei Oliva’s Sports Karate Coaching System is respected and followed all over the World. He has been teaching a total of 57 different countries: 27 in Europe, 8 in Asia, 8 in Africa, 11 in America and 3 in Oceania

In the last two Karate World Championships held in Tampere (Finland) and Istanbul (Turkey) most of the medallist countries have competed using his technical and tactical approaches.


This course is an absolute must for regional, national and international athletes aspiring to progress up the ladder of success. His specialist approach combines theory and practical makes it compulsory viewing for any forward thinking coach.

I personally am very excited about this course and consider this as an integral part of my continued professional development as a coach. Hope to see you there.

Willie Thomas invites both athletes and coaches who are members of the EKF to join him at this National event where he will be head coach. What makes one man better than the other when they are physically and technically even? Have you ever seen somebody who looked great in the warm up area and then under perform on the matt?
