Greg Mellor

One of the Hamilton Eastern clubs top fighters and kata people Greg Mellor is a true Canadian who shed away from the spotlight as much as possible. It is hard to try and find anyone else who has trained as hard as Greg did and does.

He won more then his share of tournaments as child protege.

His power is amazing still (he trains hard three days a week) and his dedication to self improvement is second to none. In his early days he started with Ray Greenway at John Mills school in the east end and eventually found himself training at the 329 Ottawa Street location along with his good friend Gary Cobbet. He was still a young teenager at the time but Greg had a fighting spirt that might we say was road tested. He later started teaching at The Eastern Karate Club at the Delta along his lifetime friend Don Warrener. He then became a student of the legendary Richard Kim of San Francisco eventually becoming his Canadian representative.
