Hi, I'm Alun Williams, a 5th Dan Senior instructor within the South Wales based"Goshinkwai Ryu Yawara Renmei" Self-Defence organisation.

This fully affiliated organisation was established in the 1950's
by brother's John and Gordon Warfield and offers a dynamic, but most of all, practical system of self defence for all, beginner to advanced, young or old.

I currently run weekly classes, as well as regular monthly "open" seminars and may be able to run specific short courses/ corporate training programmes etc, subject to availability.

 I fully appreciate that joining a new club can be a daunting experience, but ensure you of a warm welcome from myself and fellow instructors.

Many students have been club members for over 10 years and experienced instructors are always on hand to offer quality advice and assistance. There is a good social aspect within the clubs, with regular seminar's, organised events and nights out throughout the year. I keep my classes informal and family orientated, whilst still maintaining particularly high standards of tuition. Students may choose to develop through a 6 belt grading system at the clubs, up to Black Belt, which are held at specific times and locations throughout the year.

I vary the training, to study both in Gi's and "Off the mat" in normal casual wear to add realism into the system.

Please continue to visit the items on this site, to help build a picture of this unique and dynamic system of training.

I'll be conducting monthly "open" seminars throughout 2006 at my Risca dojo for all levels. Places will be limited, so contact me at the e-mail below if interested
