Embrace the Warrior Within

I began my journey with Muay Thai over 12 years ago, as a way to better my physical health. It didn't take long before I fell in love with the techniques, history and values of this incredible sport. I have worked with children and troubled youths for over 20 years, and it is something I am very passionate about. So bringing the two together is a dream of mine. I was fortunate enough to have a coach that I admired and respected as I learnt this art. It was him that taught me that Muay Thai is more than just fighting, its values are something we should strive to follow. These values are what makes us respectable, confident and honorable people. Someone people will want to look up to. I wish to pass this invaluable knowledge onto the younger generation to help them empower themselves and to become disciplined, respectful members of the community. At the same time as keeping and passing on my mentor's knowledge and legacy to the young warriors coming through.

Martial Arts has always been a passion of mine. I started in Karate at 4 years of age, learning the fundamentals and moving up through the grades. I then moved on to Zen Do Kai, BJJ and Taekwondo. I loved learning everything I could in these Martial Arts and then 2 years ago I decided to try Muay Thai. I have not looked back since. The skills of using all eight limbs is so impressive and addictive. The Values that go along with this Martial Art are ones I feel everyone should live by in their day-to-day life. The traditions behind this sport are mesmerizing and they empower you to want to better yourself. I am still learning more and more about the techniques and values from my coach, who is passing it on to me from his coach. To be a part of that legacy, is a beautiful thing. I wish to pass on what knowledge I have to the next generation and keep that legacy alive. I have worked with children of all ages and enjoy helping them to learn and grow. Watching as they become more confident and resilient everyday.
