Hi, I'm Paul and I've been training and coaching in Martial Arts/Combat Sports for 38 years now.   I hold a 2nd Degree Black belt in Kickboxing but my journey began in Tae Kwon Do as an early teenager under James Hogan.  Since then  it  has spanned across Full Contact Kickboxing, Boxing, Muay Thai and Ju Jitsu.  My competitive career was spent in Full Contact Kickboxing and I competed for most of a  decade in this exciting sport.

My most influential trainer and with whom I spent the majority of my competition years is Pat O Keefe, an early pioneer in the sport of Kickboxing.  It is Pat  to whom I owe my philosophy on training and coaching.  As he says of his own coach, Geoff Briton, Pat taught me, in the best Confucian tradition, how to fish.

Learning any Martial Art is an amazing journey.  If I have learned anything, it's that it is a journey without end.   Nobody ever knows everything there is to know and that's the best part because you can never stop  growing.
