• 4 years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Began training in BJC Muay Thai in 1996 as a means of self-defence. Since then martial arts has come to mean much more than that. Wanting to expand my knowledge of martial arts, I began training in Zen Do Kai in 2001, which has opened up another whole world of martial arts to me.
In more recent years, I’ve also trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Tong Long Kung Fu. For me, the benefit of cross-training has been two-fold. Not only has it broadened both my knowledge and skill of the martial arts, but by training in styles with different principles, it has also helped me to differentiate and understand the very principles on which my existing techniques lie. This is also in keeping with the philosophy of Zen Do Kai as being an adaptive style, constantly evolving and incorporating many different styles of martial art.
What has kept me training in Zen Do Kai is its many dimensions. I find that the further I go ‘into’ my training, the more it seems to expand out into so many aspects, many of which I never imagined the day I first walked into the dojo. Not only am I learning more and more techniques, but my knowledge of the ‘old’ techniques is becoming deeper and deeper.
I first began instructing in 2003. I thoroughly enjoy working with the students and find it to be one of the most rewarding experiences as a martial artist.
 

Been involved with martial arts my entire life beginning at a young age with 10 years accumulated experience in the following:

• Training in the Martial Arts since 1995.
• 3-4 yrs Renbukan karate.
• 4 yrs Zen Do Kai.
• 3 yrs Muay Thai Kickboxing.
• Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt.

Teaching experience:
Currently undergoing my PhD studies at QUT and am employed as a seasonal academic with the school of life sciences (QUT). Demonstrates in several different lab classes throughout the year from wet-lab based practical’s to Human Anatomy and Physiology classes.
