About:
I began my training in 1999 with the FCA Hawks Freestyle Combat Arts, Bradford, under Chief Instructor Paul Westren and Instructor Simon Bower. I continued to train under Simon (a swell and cool guy) who later founded Panthers Kickboxing in Shipley. I achieved my 1 st Dan Black belt with them on 24 th November 2002 , and became an Instructor for a branch of the club. I proudly achieved my 2 nd Dan Black belt on 9 th January 2005 , graded by Mr Tom Hibbett of the A.M.A.
Panthers Kickboxing downsized and I joined my long time sparring partner and all-round-top-dude Craig Anderson, to form Scorpion Freestyle Combat Kickboxing in Skipton. I also instructed at Kaizen Martial Arts Academy in Leeds . Kaizen is a fine dojo offering a variety of martial arts under Sensei Jim Reece.
I now coach the outstanding and dedicated students of Pride Kickboxing.
Whilst instructing over the above period, I also trained with various clubs in Jiu-jitsu, MMA and Aikido. I have gained qualifications in Martial Arts coaching, child protection, and health and safety through MASTARR. I am a qualified level 2 Gym Instructor with YMCA, and hold first aid qualifications and CRB disclosure/checks.
