I began my combat training at twelve at a local boxing club in Llanelli, learning the vital skills and discipline that have kept me working in the fitness and self-defence field.

At the age of fifteen I joined the Cobra-Kai Freestyle Kickboxing Federation, and trained religiously under the regime of instructor Lee Martin (4th degree black belt). In 1997 I went on to win the European martial arts title (WUMA Federation), held at Cheltenham.

At the age of nineteen, I opened my very own kickboxing club at Llanelli Leisure Centre, for all levels and ages. Over the years I have helped create more than ten black belt students, two welsh champions and one British champion.

As well as training, I have since achieved my 4th Degree Black Belt, opened my own one-to-one private gym, and become an Advanced Level 3 Personal Trainer through Fitness Wales (REPs certified), teaching private lessons of fitness, weight training, martial arts, self-defence, pilates, and much more.
