Starting off in Johannesburg, South Africa, at age 10 he studied Judo for 2 years, before going on to train Traditional Chinese Kung Fu. This was his major grounding, of which he trained for 15 years.

Kung Fu is an art-form that one can constantly develop, and he is currently training with Shifu Wang Yun Kuo of the Praying Mantis Kung Fu Academy in Sydney, Australia.

3 x Silver Medals, placed 2nd in the USA World Kung Fu Championships, for Form & Choreography in Baltimore, USA, 2000.

Coached two of his students to take 1st and 2nd place consecutively for sparring in the National All-Styles competition in Melbourne 2003. He also entered a year later, taking a 3rd Place himself for a Southern Broadsword form.

He has been teaching classes and training students for over 11 years, from all walks of life and martial art backgrounds.
Aside from Kung Fu, he has also trained with masters in Pukulan, Krav Maga, Free-Form Martial Arts, and Capoeira.

"In today’s world it seems that the focus of martial art and self defence schools is to teach primarily how to beat and control your opponent at all costs. But I would ask: how can you attempt this without first being in control of yourself ? From the varied martial art systems and styles around today, my philosophy is to learn from real, traditional systems, where the knowledge has been passed down from teacher to student over the centuries.
These are the systems which remain predominantly pure & unaltered, where you will find the secrets of technique and form. The systems should be trained and understood with humility – but hopefully never used."
