I started
karate training at the age of 11 at local Higashi karate clubs where
I practiced for the next 7 years up to 3rd kyu.
I then went on to study
Lau Gar Kung Fu and Shaolin Gong Fu under Sifu Neil Genge for 2 years.
Then
on to gymnastics for 2 years, and another 2 years of kick boxing.
I
started training with Sensei Peter Dennis 8th Dan 1992 and have graded
up the ranks until the present day where I am currently a 5th Dan.
I
have competed and won in various competitions in Kata and Kumite to
represent the association, and represented F.E.K.O at the English
championships, English 3 on 3, Jersey international championships
and WKC world championships in Aberdeen June 2001.
