Sensei Raj Dhokia
I started practising martial arts under Sensei Mo Malik in 2005 and have been under him ever since. I have learned kickboxing, karate, Wing Chun, Tai Chi and Escrima all under Sensei Mo, along with some empty hand Philippine systems and some pressure point fighting.
I was awarded my 1st Dan Black belt by Sensei Mo in 2014 which is a lasting memory, but my most memorable moment has to be training amongst masters at WGC with Grandmaster Brian Jones at his School of Excellence in 2016.
I am always trying to improve the skills passed onto me by teaching others and welcome old and new members to the Viper family.
I joined Viper Academy of Martial Arts at the age of 6 years. I wanted to do something sporty and was doing gymnastics prior to learning martial arts, but decided it wasn't for me. I took to karate like a duck to water even though there were a few nose bleeds in the early days I was soon working my way through the gradings. At the age of 11 years, after a four hour gruelling grading I became a black belt 1st Dan.
I enjoy karate and supporting the younger students. Karate has helped me maintain my fitness levels, recently representing my school year group for inter school cross country. I'm also a keen swimmer and attend swimming club on a weekly basis.
I really enjoy karate and I am working towards my 2nd Dan. I still get the occasional nose bleed but think nothing of it and take it all in my stride.

My name is Jenson Kiddle & I started Samurai Shotakan karate in Wisbech at aged 5. I am now a brown double white belt getting ready for my black.
I started with Viper martial arts at aged 7 and acheived my full adult 1st dan black belt graded by Sensei Mo and an honourary black belt awarded by Henshi 9th dan Robbie Woodard. I have two junior national titles one WTKO and one HDKI and one national WTKO traditional kumite title.
I have won numerous club golds for kumite and kata. I train two nights a week in Wisbech, doing traditional karate and two nights a week with Sensei Mo one of which is one to one training for kumite. I also train in weapons, jo staff, samari sword, nun chucks, sei and escrema stick fighting with Sensei Mo. I regularly attend various seminars and train with adaptive martial arts and differerent styles of martial arts with numerous Sensei.
Sensei Mo Malik and Sensei Steve King have put a lot of time into me and it shows in every aspect of my life and not just my martial arts. I would recommend it to any parents for their children but it is a lot of hard work but they can achieve goals beyond there wildest dreams. I not only see my Sensei as teachers but personal friends and martial arts is all about friends that become family for life.
