Before we dive into my story, let me ask you something:

Have you ever tried martial arts?
It’s not easy, is it?
In fact, it’s hard - really hard.

I know the feeling. I’ve been there too...

I took my first steps into the martial arts world back in 1964. I remember, as a wiry kid dressed in my Judo gi and orange belt, sitting cross-legged on the floor, watching the judo matches at the Tokyo Olympics flicker across a black-and-white television. That moment sparked a lifetime of study, discipline, and transformation.

Over the decades, I’ve built and rebuilt myself - physically, mentally, and professionally. I’ve grown a bricks-and-mortar dojo into one of the most respected schools in Australia, and I’ve carried that same energy into this new online frontier. I’ve weathered burnout, rebuilt after devastating loss, and even survived life-threatening illness. And through it all, martial arts was the backbone that held me upright.

I’ve helped thousands of students reclaim confidence, build and rebuild their bodies, sharpen their minds, and rediscover meaning in their lives. Today, I’m retired from the day-to-day of business, but my mission is far from over.

I’m passionate about helping people create real freedom and real progress through the serious and joyful pursuit of martial arts. In this realm, hard work becomes rewarding. Struggle becomes training. And discipline becomes peace.

With time, guidance and great mentorship, “hard” isn't something to fear; it’ll be something you embrace, and one day, through character and perseverance, you master.
