“Since 1986, I have been on a journey of discovery that has taken me all the way around the world, looking at systems and meeting instructors from all kinds of traditions and methodologies.  I studied Japanese at university, so when when I lived in the far east, I could go deeper into my study of the martial arts.  My goal was then and still is now, to be able to answer the difficult questions about interpersonal conflict in the most meaningful, helpful way possible for my students. 

I have learned, and earned, my craft from some of the pre-eminent thinkers and coaches in the world, and retain close ties to those who continue to inspire me. 

In my corporate work, I primarily meet human services health and care staff, nurses, community workers of all kinds, contact professionals from the security, financial services and property sectors and from time to time I work with survivors of sexual assault or bullying. 

I often have only limited time with my students, but I am always inspired when the attitudes and methodology we use bring clarity to the problems of confrontation they face in their life and work.

Where we have more time with individuals on a private basis, I have seen them transformed by the physical and tactical training - they emerge more confident, more aware, with fewer limiting beliefs.

My aim is that the training I provide is accessible and effective for every person who seeks it out - regardless of age, gender, size, occupation, past experience or expectations.”
