Sensei Seamus O'Dowd (SKIF 6th Dan) teaches in Ireland and travels regularly to teach overseas. I recall seeing him perform a No Bo kata demonstration at Kodakai Watford circa 2009 and then attending the first official Kanazawa No Bo Dai course in Winchester in November 2010. Seamus and his son Conall co-author an informative "Karate Instruction" youtube channel (link here) I recommend that you check it out and subscribe. Oss!

Modern Karate

Sensei Mick Power (5th Dan) at Hatfield Heath has a great teaching style, very inclusive and insightful. So often I have come away from his lessons either having learnt something new or revisited existing knowledge from a fresh perspective

 

Milton Keynes School of Karate Jutsu

Sensei Derek Bradbury (5th Dan) from Kissaki Kai - always an interesting lesson normally involving getting up off the floor.
