I have been involved in martial arts for the past 25 years. It all started back in 1982 when my father took me to a local Kung Fu Club Called Crown Kung Fu after studying this I new what I wanted to gain from martial arts. After years of hard training I reached my goal to gain my black sash and it was an extreme honour.
1993 – Present
After 14 years of being taught it was time to pass on my experience to other students to benefit from my way of life .This is why I set up martial arts classes around my local area of Swadlincote, Derbyshire.
1996 - Present
Later I veered into the security industry bringing my martial arts experience, skills and awareness into action .I proceeded into the close protection and surveillance circle (freelance) offering services to T.V celebrities, Sport persons, business and the private sector all around the U.K.
As time went by I started to train in different styles of martial arts i.e.: Aikido, Kickboxing this is when I formed my own martial arts style which includes Kung Fu, Aikido and Kickboxing. The club is called Crown Kickboxing with lessons available around Swadlincote area.
I later progressed into developing a fight night venture for Semi & Full contact fighters called Warrior’s Fight Night Promotions. This has deemed to be very successful and most popular with local residents and business in the Swadlincote Area.
In this troubled world perhaps I wish to use martial arts to channel skill, patience and respect to young people of our society. Myself and others have found martial arts to be a very profound and life changing experience.

1992
I enrolled in a local Karate club 15 years ago and have been involved in martial arts ever since. It started after watching many martial arts movies and I said to myself thats what I want to do. Then it began, training hard and progressing through the coloured belts to reach my goal, the prized blackbelt.
2002
After a short break I continued ytaining in the year 2000 at the same club. I was more than ever determined to gain my blackbelt, so I trained hard and finally in 2002 earned my blackbelt.
2004
After another 2 years of dedicated training i was ready to take my 2nd Dan blackbelt. Also around this time I started instructing for the club I was training at. Once again I did my grading and gained my next blackbelt.
2005
This was the time to branch out on my own, so
with the help of Matt Talbot we set up our own club called Martial Sports.
March 2006
With my club running well, I took up kickboxing a year previously with Cobra Martial Arts Association. Due to many years studying Karate I soon gained my 1st Dan in Cobra Kickboxing
October 2006
The belt I wanted most was my 3rd Dan in Karate. This is the final belt that you are graded for. To gain
this was a massive achievement and I achieved it with 100% A+ top marks!
Present
I am now training for my 2nd Dan in kickboxing. I have just started to train in mixed martial arts
(MMA) and helping Craig with Warrior's Fight Night Promotions.
