My background in combat sports goes back some twenty years. It began
with judo training under my dad at the age of six. I then went through
the Bruce Lee phase and began training in Lau Gar Kung Fu aged twelve,
five years later I gained my 1st degree black sash and instructor
award. From then I went back to judo and gained my 1st dan black
belt within one year and became a coach shortly after. Some years
later I became the Personal Safety Assessor for the British Judo
Association in the Northern area and began working for the Home
Office as a personal safety trainer for the police service. Moving
on from this post I went to work for the British Judo Association
as a schools development officer getting paid for encouraging young
people to take up my hobby. I am constantly striving to improve
my own conditioning for grappling sports and this is how I discovered
Stan Pike and his Kettle bells. I’ve
been using Kettle bells for quite a while now and have introduced
many people to the benefits of them. Please feel free to contact
me for training.
