I have been involved in Martial Arts since 1969. My early years were spent doing Judo both as a child under the tutelage of former British Team Coach Roy Inman alongside the likes of Neil Adams, and then into adulthood including running a Judo club in the Army. In 1974, I started training in Bujutsu with the Anglo Japanese Bujutsu Association. 1980, I attended a British Judo Association club coach and officials course at the Army school of physical training, Aldershot.During my time with the military, I was fortunate to learn and also teach “Arrest and Restraint” and what the Army called aikido although it had no resemblance to what I know as Aikido as it was done with rifles and batons.After leaving the Army in 1985 I became re-involved with “The Anglo Japanese Bujutsu Association” formerly known as “The Anglo Japanese Judo Association”I currently run a club One night a week. I have introduced many techniques acquired during my earlier years where I taught in the army. Also I have included many techniques From Ryu Kyu Kobujutsu which is an art that I am Still Learning. To this end, I was responsible for re-writing the grading syllabus. My mind is open to learning more techniques and I enjoy nothing more than having the opportunity to pass these techniques on to a wider audience. I welcome the opportunity to learn, teach, travel, and participate in upcoming events. I would say that my strengths within the field of martial arts are groundwork/grappling, Kansetsuwaza, Shimiwaza and Points of Pain.
