I started
karate training at the age of 11 at local Higashi karate clubs where
I practiced for the next 7 years up to 1st 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

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.
