My journey

Gaining Knowledge

For over 40 years, I have been a dedicated student of martial arts, pursuing a lifelong journey of continuous personal growth and deep understanding.
Beginning with Karate in 1984, my exploration expanded to Kali for weapon techniques, refining striking skills in Kickboxing, Karate, and Muay Thai, and embracing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for grappling.
‘Feed your mind, protect your body’ embodies my approach: embracing new knowledge and sharing it to inspire and empower, across all ranges of martial arts and in life.
