Mr Bill Rogers has been involved in the NAS for over 10 years, both as a competitor and a judge. He has been an active competitor over those years, so is able to see refereeing and judging from “both sides of the fence”. Some of his achievements are:

1994 NAS National Championship finalist (fighting)

1996, 1998 NAS State Champion, veterans (fighting)

1996 WASO team – World Championships, Canada

2001 Kempo Ryu tournament – 2nd veterans (fighting)

Sensei Bill Rogers began his karate in 1990 as a student of shihan James Casey, Chairman of Kenshinkan International Karate. Kenshinkan International Karate was derived from Kyokushin Karate.

A dedicated student, Bill has trained 6 days a week for many years, obtaining his Shodan in 1994, Ni-dan in 1998 and San-dan in 2002. Bill works very closely with Shihan Casey, travelling from dojo to dojo helping in the development of Kenshinkan International Karate.
