Like many martial artists who started in the 70’s, I was influenced by the action of Bruce Lee’s “Enter the Dragon” and David Carridines “Kung Fu”. Starting my life long obsession with the Martial Arts training in GoJu Karate with Merv Oakley in Brookvale when I was 13 years old, then at 20 moved on to Tae Kwon do in 1981 with the AFTA at Macquarie University. Then in 1997 with a group of like-minded martial artists we started the IMT in NSW, we now manage 12 locations.

I've always been broad minded regarding my influences in the Martial arts its a bit like the who's who in the industry. The ones that stand out Benny "The Jet" Urquidez Multi stylist, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace Karate, Prof. Don Jacobs Jui Jutsu, Prof JihanJae Hapkido, Maurice Smith KickBoxing, Chai Sirusuite MuayThai , Grand Master Kwak Tae Kwon Do, Master Callagari Freestyle TKD and many others that I've met along the path we call the martial artists journey. I see myself as an innovator blending my years of experience in martial arts and yoga to develop and tune the body to the highest possible level. With this knowledge I help my students achieve their goals and never stop learning and improving my technique and understanding of the arts.
