Sensei Cath Duthie began training in Seido karate in 2004 after 6 months of watching her son from the side-line. Her son, sensei Zak, is now a yondan and training together is one of the highlights of her karate experience. Having never been a “sporty” person Sensei Cath enjoys both the physical and mental challenge of training and the opportunity to progress at her own pace. Sensei Cath achieved her shodan in 2013 and her yondan in 2023.
Sensei Cath is the coordinator for the Children’s programme and lead instructor in the children’s white belt class, and blue belt class and assistant instructor in the Friday morning kata class. Sensei Cath tries to make the classes both fun and challenging and hopes that each student will leave each class with the feeling they have achieved something.
