FSK Aidan Trimble

[@ThePetersheff]

Aiden was my first Sesnei in Karate back in 86 and we trained every Tues and Thurs at Redhill Dojo. Plus whenever I could I attended his Nottingham Council sponsored squad training sessions. A great Karateka, an inspirational character and a very likeable person. Thanks Sensei for starting my Martial Arts road...Peter Sheffield, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I never realised how good this man was, I was always a fan of O'Neill, Cattle and Brennan. Respect to you sir!

[@danielkausten]

I think Aidan was a truly great Karate fighter, one of the best of his time and had he not had a serious shoulder injury who knows what he would have gone on to achieve (not that he didn't achieve a lot anyway)!!!

[@tommystevenson2921]

brilliant

[@danielkausten]

PS Shame there's not more of Aidan's fighting career on KZbin!!!

[@phantomspiritxx]

Saw him in the 80's very strong, extremely athletic fighter, his kicks were delivered so fluidly and naturally , he was never tense or planted, he was the best fighter i've seen including the top Japanese JKA fighters ,only Kagawa was in same league...

[@Eddylad2009]

Wow, I trained with you a few years back at Neils club in Cumbria, I wish I hadn't had quit now. After looking at videos about it online it makes me want to get back into it but now i'm 16 and it's probably too late.

Excellent footage.

[@allanvandyke]

Awesome, does'nt get any better than this.

[@Automazone]

Our point-fighting-rules kumite is indeed much more thrilling & entertaining than full-contact kumite.

[@ronki23]

can't find the comment but as someone else said, sport karate isn't the same as traditional karate. They don't wear head guards with traditional and don't keep hands low either- I don't think they score backfist, side kick or hopping round kicks either. Lyoto Machida is real karate? Karate isn't my cup of tea (although I wish I did Kyokushin instead of Kickboxing)
