Holbeach Karate Kid gives his Sensei a close shave!

23rd March 2011

Mick Lowe from Shotokan Tokon Karate club was given a close shave by one of his Karate club pupils on Wednesday 23rd March.

Kieran Forrest won the “shave off” as a raffle prize as part of the fundraising event chosen by the Japan Karate England Association in aid of the charity Dreams Come True”. Over the past few weeks the club has raised a total of £418.00 for the “charity, through various events, from making and selling cakes, providing refreshements at club events, sponsorship for losing weight, and students sponsored for carrying out up to 3,500 punches during one karate lesson.

Mick said“Kieran has a steady hand and considering he had not picked up a razor before he did really well. I have worn a beard for many years and now I don’t recognise the man looking back at me in the mirror. It’s all in a good cause and we had lots of fun.”

Kieran said “It was so weird and a bit surreal. I was careful not to hurt my Sensei. I didn’t see any cuts or nicks and he still has two ears so I guess I did alright.”
