FURTHER INFO.

I first got in to martial arts when I attended my university Sports Freshers Fair in September 1998. It was there that I met my Tae Kwon-do Instructor Master Malcolm Jones (7th degree) & I have not stopped training since! I now have a black belt in Tae kwon-do (1st degree, 2001) Kickboxing WKA (1st degree, 2003), Judo (1st degree, 2007), Kickboxing IKF (1st degree, 2016), Kickboxing IKF (2nd degree, 2018), Kickboxing IKF (3rd degree, 2020).

I started Samurai kickboxing in the UK in 2010 & I have taught over 25,000 students since then. The company began after a2 year spell in Japan teaching children English.

On my return to the UK, my 4 year old nephew asked me to teach him Kickboxing & despite my reluctance to teach children martial arts, I relented & set up a session for him & a few of his mates. I loved it & my classes have grown from there.

I have gone on to build 2 martial art businesses that have allowed me to travel around the world, another of my life interests.

I currently (March ‘22) have 7 permanent Kickboxing Instructors who teach martial arts in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset & Jersey.

Some of these Instructor’s had no Kickboxing experience so I have taught them from scratch in order for them to become qualified Kickboxing Instructors.

Other Instructors I have trained have gone on to;

  • A sport scholarship in an American University

  • Be hired in David Hayes’ gym in Dubai

  • Be a stuntman in international blockbusters such as Solo: A Star Wars Story, Wonder Woman, Game of Thrones & the latest Batman movie
