Bio
Sensei Brian has started his martial arts journey in 1986 with Judo. In 1988 he has started studying Wing Chun and became a senior student and in 1999 he became a double sash [level 4]. He has also studied Thai boxing for 4 years in the early 90s. He has practiced kick boxing in the mid 90s and has entered many kick boxing competitions under British kick boxing union and ranked UK number 4. From 2009 until 2022 he has studied traditional karate and became a 3rd Dan black belt instructor.

He is a friendly instructor with a big smile and very strong technique. He draws on his knowledge and experience of various styles and traditions to support his students and help them gain a wider understanding of martial arts and become well rounded.

His skill in pad work, sparring, sticky hands and self defence drills is impressive and he teaches an engaging class. He is a physically strong, mature, disciplined martial artist with a great sense of humour and the type of role model that the world needs nowadays. We are lucky to have him in our instructors team.
