Andrew Liddell
Andrew began training in Goju Karate-do 1992 in Perth. In 2005 Andrew began training with Sensei Oakley at the Roseville class twice a week and at the Westmead special classes held monthly. He feels very fortunate to have found Sensei Oakley so close to home and to train with a teacher with extensive knowledge and understanding of traditional art of Goju Kai Karate and Kobudo. He was awarded Sho Dan by Sensei Oakley in 2008. He is an assistant instructor at the Roseville Dojo and currently the clubs' Public Relations Officer.
Andrew also attends regular classes in Ryu Kyu Kobudo on a weekly and monthly basis.
