Train Hard. Fight Smart. Evolve.
I started my martial arts journey from the age of 5, and like most martial artists, I was mesmerised by watching all things combat related on TV, which I thought was so cool (and still do), and then I followed it up by shouting “Dad, I want to do that!”.
From that point, I started training Shotokan Karate, and for the next 35 years, I would go on to learn various styles of martial arts which I know incorporate into my teaching.
The 3 main styles that I blend are Shotokan Karate, Kyokushin Karate, and Ju-Jutsu. But the curriculum that I grade is based on Shotokan Karate.
My aim is to teach all students in the traditional way that I was taught, where the emphasis in on hard training of the body and mind. Doing so, unlocks many benefits whether it is confidence, discipline, fitness or strength (of body and character).
