Terry O'Neill & Bob Poynton Chair Demo

[@rolandheimgartner4343]

The coolest chairdemo I've ever seen. The two are splendid in karate and in comedy. Simply a delight to watch.. R.I.P. Bobby.

[@jaycampbell6808]

2 top fighters and genuine men. R.I.P Bob.

[@mattburgon2414]

absolute comedy genius!! this is the funniest karate demo i've ever seen. had my 8 year old son and me in stitches!! very skillful too.

[@777philip]

Absolutely brilliant demo these are REAL black belts sadly not the same in today's world

[@johnreidy2804]

I'm a black belt in GoJu. Are you saying I am not as good as either of these guys friend? And without even knowing me?

[@karatefella]

Sensei Poynton sadly passed away yesterday (March 10, 2020)

[@albertkazemian603]

He was a great man. He graded me in Bristol

[@78a67h]

This must have been sometime in the 80s. I can see Ticky Donovan in the front spectator row. A Wado man myself, still have great respect for these top Shotokan practitioners, whom I have met personally during my time in Liverpool. The 2 Brennan brothers are the attackers in A. Sherry's demo. Very sorry to read in the below comments that Bob has recently sadly passed.

[@Tommy1957ful]

I saw Steve Arneil in the front row as well

[@78a67h]

The first demo between Bob Poynton and Terry O'Neill is absolute class, I love the lack of reverance for what is a rather trite demo prop. Fantastic comic timing and excellent subtle nuance of tension between Bob and Terry

[@ferdelance1994]

Graded and did courses with terry and bob early 70s , FUCKING rock hard these boyz where.

[@sukhdevkarate]

YOU both are great n great Demo, great technique, bravo.....

[@spookybaba]

I once got a lift from Sensei Andy Sherry in his Ford Sierra 4x4 back in the 80s. The Red Triangle Karate Club had the best three Sensei, in my humble opinion.

[@officecraftltd9966]

More than three!

[@spookybaba]

@@officecraftltd9966 Take it from me, Kid. There were only three there for the four years that I was there. Bob - Monday, Andy - Wednesday, Andy and Frank - Friday. Sure, there may have been more in later years. But, not when I was there!

[@officecraftltd9966]

@@spookybaba When I was there in the 70's there was Frank and Jimmy Brennan as well as Jimmy Poynton.

[@spookybaba]

@@officecraftltd9966 Or, before my time, I should have stated. My apologies. I remember Jimmy Brennan, but no Jim Poynton. Only Bob. I recall Bob had a lady waiting for him almost every Monday night 😊

[@garygalt4146]

⁠@@officecraftltd9966frank saved my life when I broke my neck while doing a demo. He heard the crack as I landed on my head. Fractured skull neck and base of my spine. He rushed onto the floor held myhead still while others wanted to lift me up. I never got the chance to thank him. I believe it was frank. I was in and out of it. Our dojo was in St Helens. And had the red triangle boys in all the time. It changed my life. I was paralysed,I vowed if I got my feeling back I would change my life /job I became a professional photographer 40 years later I have had a great life. But it changed in that moment. If anyone knows him please pass on my thanks.

[@Twirlyhead]

Sitting down on the job gets a whole new meaning.

[@mooseven]

Credit to Andy Sherry for the demo at the end too. It might not be as funny the other one, but Sherry really knows how to throw a hit. He's a small bloke but he hits like a bulldozer.

[@stuarthughes3747]

Thanks to Terry O'Neil the Great Gary Spiers came to England

[@tonyorme1894]

The great Gary Spiers met him in southport.he was far from great

[@mooseven]

The crowd comments are always hilarious on these vids. "Get 'im Terry!", "Give up, Bob!" etc

[@walterheinen5298]

Does anyone know Bob passed away from Covid 19

[@albertkazemian603]

No Bob didn't pass away from covid. But he did pass

[@karatefella]

Brilliant demo ! What a shame Andy Sherry's demo isn't coplete

[@Dobbersky]

OSU!!!!

[@dikshun9547]

Brilliant flawless demo I rate terry O'Neil and of course Bob Poynton....however Poynton ( when I met him at the Blackfriars Dojo ) displayed an arrogant attitude and I took an instant dislike to him...he tends to look down at people..he may be an excellent representative of Shotokan but as his personality lets him down.

[@spookybaba]

Bob had a tongue in cheek attitude. He was hardly arrogant, just incredibly confident. A great Sensei, and he always seemed to have a pretty lady waiting for him after his Monday sessions at the Red Triangle in the 80s :-D
