Main style is Zen Do Kai but I can often be seen joining in the occasional Krav, Muay Thai and BJJ classes 


WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE FROM THESE STYLES/MARTIAL ARTS?
Martial arts is a life-long commitment, which provides me with self-confidence, humility and life-long learning. It keeps me healthy and helps my confidence.

Husband and father of two daughters, with a passion for martial arts, the constant learning it presents and the community that it builds.

I draw my inspiration from people like Richard Norton as he is someone who represents the life-long learning attitude. He shows how a life dedicated to martial arts can open doors of opportunity and in particular, the benefits of staying active and healthy.

ANY ADVICE TO NEW STUDENTS OR ANYONE INTERESTED IN JOINING?
The first step onto the mat is the hardest. Once you get past this hurdle, there will be good times, and there will be times you question why you even started doing martial arts. But at the end of the day, you will wonder why you didn’t start earlier.
