Howard Collins (born 1949) is a Welsh master of Kyokushin karate based in Sweden.
[1] In 1967, Collins decided to join the London Metropolitan Police—but only three weeks after he had set off on this endeavour, his mother died.
[3] According to Collins, he completed the 100-man kumite two years after beginning training in Japan,[1] but a Scottish source reports 1 December 1972 as the date.
[4][5] Collins later recalled: "At the start it was easy my condition was excellent as I had been training every day for two years.
"[1] In 1973, Collins returned to the United Kingdom and began teaching in British and other European dojo.
[7] In November 1975, he competed in Kyokushin's 1st World Tournament, but was defeated by Toshikazu Satō on a judge's decision, following several extensions and a rematch.
