I have always been interested in the Martial Arts, and i think like most people it was Bruce Lee that inspired me.

In my early teens i dabbled a bit in Karate but then got side tracked with other things, then in 1998 i went along with a friend to a Lau Gar Kung Fu class which also had some Kickboxing thrown in for good measure.

It was whilst i was training here that i also started competing at amateur level in Various Martial Arts Competitions.

After a couple of years of this i  had the opportunity to do something for the BBC Children in Need, this was to be a 12 hour Sponsored Martial Arts Extravaganza. it was here that i discovered Wing Chun and so i found my local club and started training in Kamon Wing Chun.

I am also a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship UFC, and when they were over in the UK in the sumer of 2003 at the Albert Hall i made sure i was there.

The nearest the UK seems to get to the fabulous MMA (mixed martial arts) events held across the pond in the US like the UFC seems to be Cage Rage who are getting bigger and bigger with every event.
