I have been involved in sports from an early age and since leaving school I spent 3 years boxing, 7 years body building and 9 years playing rugby achieving high standards in all three disciplines.
I began karate at the CSKC in 2004 while still playing rugby, however, it was only in 2009 that I decided to concentrate all my efforts on karate.
I have competed in many KUGB competitions and have attended numerous training courses with some of the best instructors, namely: Senseis Andy Sherry, Bob rhodes, Billy Higgins, Frank Brennan, Garry Harford, Nick Heald and Matt Price.
I achieved my 1st Dan grading in May 2012 and my 2nd Dan grading in February 2016.I am fortunate in that CSKC have three senior and very experienced Instructors who have been of immense help to me and are very supportive.
I am a KUGB qualified Instructor as of 9/01/2024
I am DBS certified as of 8/01/2024
certificate No 001862160266.
For the future I intend to continue my training and will always seek to improve every aspect of my karate.
On the 2nd of June 2024 I attended an accredited course" An introduction to safeguarding children and Adults in a sports setting"
on the 5th Of October 2024 I passed my 3rd Dan black belt exam at Bath University.
the Grading examiners were Sensei W.Higgins 8th Dan, Sensei F.Brennan 8th Dan and Sensei Garry Harford 8th Dan.
