When I walked into the NLTKD, as a beginner, Mr Ojojor and Mr William were both Red belts. in a club full of big tough scary guys. They both got their Black belts under Mr Albert Williamson-Taylor long before me. I have always got a lot of respect for them then and now, and I am grateful to both of them for their support, assistance and sharing there knowledge with the current generation of NLTKD student. And in return I have promised, with their help, to keep the standards of new NLTKD Black belts to the same old high standards.
