I started my martial arts journey when I was 14 years old at the Buda-Kan, North Ormesby under Norman Wall doing Karate ( Wado – Ryu ) in 1978. I did this for 8 years and then started getting into Chinese arts such as Lau Gar Kung Fu which I did for 3 years. From there I got involved in kickboxing and trained under Tony Trimble, I did this for about 18 years. Then I started training with Steve Todd for several years training doce parais and balintowak under Grand Master Danny Guba and Richard Coatteral. Also training in the JKD systems under Rick Young, Danny Inosanto, Mark Mcfann, Eric Paulson, and Bob Breem. I am now at Instinct Martial Arts, which I have been involved with for 10 years. I now teach Phillipino fighting style using sticks and knives also teaching JKD and Close quarter combat.
