I have practiced in and experienced various different Martial Arts.  As well as experiencing Military levels of fitness. Capable of teaching in a number of disciplines, I draw from the years of knowledge to provide a practical and methodical approach to teaching Martial Arts with the ability to combine and link techniques from the different styles studied.

I have competed in full contact Eskrima stick fighting at national and international level at Middle weight, Light Heavy weight, Heavy weight and Super Heavy weight.  Winning Medals in all categories fighting the best stick fighters in the world, coming 2nd place runner-up on numerous occasions and also becoming Asia Heavy Weight Overall Champion, Best Fighter and Best Competing Team in Singapore.  I have trained and taught in the United Kingdom, North America, West Indies and South East Asia. My Martial Arts studies began in 1990 and since then have trained in 13 different Martial Arts systems respectively.

Having trained with many high ranked, experienced and respected Martial Artists. This has given a wide spectrum of skills; from which to draw from. As well as cross training in other areas; such as Fitness and Strength Training, alongside learning about Dietary needs and Nutrition. 

Experiencing Military training, I have trained alongside British Army Personal as a Territorial Army Reservist from 1996 till 1999. This gave another dimension to fitness training for the essentials of operational combat.  I have been able to learn from the high levels of professionalism and high levels of skills associated with units trained for specific Army duties.

As an individual who has worked in the Security Industry, I have experienced specifically working with and the training of Security Dogs. Helping to train them in obedience, man work (attacking and releasing on command), Sniffer Dog training for Drugs and Explosives. During this period in the Security Industry I have experienced also working in Door Supervision, Close Protection work, working on large projects looking after VIP’s and VVIP's.  Also giving advice to company contracts on the up keep of specific security measures.

Having worked in many gym environments in the UK and abroad, I have taught hundreds of people Fitness, Strength Training, Flexibility, Nutrition, Sports Specific Training, Rehabilitation Exercises, Older Adults, Children’s Fitness, Boxing and Martial Arts. As well as having my own classes for Adult and Children Martial Arts. Having been able to help individuals gain and achieve their goals and targets has been rewarding and fulfilling.

​

I believe Martial Arts is a doorway for realizing ones potential in life. Not only in their chosen discipline but other areas such as Spiritual, Physical or Mental. Along with the Martial Arts one should learn Philosophy and have a code of Bushido so that a person’s training transcends the Physical Technique.  I also believes Martial Arts is a wonderful Educational Program; helping individuals with Self Control, Discipline, Communication, Awareness, Self Confidence, Humility amongst many other Virtues. I like to keep a high level of professionalism when teaching and enjoy helping others in their journey of the Martial Arts. 

I still compete at national and international level.
