Bio & Lineage

My martial arts journey began in the 1980's and 90's in my hometown of Verwood, where i trained in semi-contact Kickboxing and Kung fu. In the 1990s, I expanded my skills into Muay Thai , Jeet Kune Do, and Kali-disciplines that proved invaluable during my time working in the security industry.

Towards the end of the 1990s, I had the privilege of meeting multiple world champion and inductee of the "IKF Fighters Hall Of Fame" Trevor Ambrose. Under Trevor's guidance, I trained full-time in Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Western boxing, travelling around the country with his team to compete against top level martial artists.

Over the years-and continuing to this day-I have trained in a wide variety of martial arts including Kickboxing, boxing, judo, Jeet Kune Do, and Kali.
My core and primary discipline, however, will always be Kickboxing. Through the mentorship of Trevor Ambrose, I earned my Black Belt and Full Instructorship from the prestigious WKN (World Kickboxing Network).
