I have been training in Karate for many years, first started training at an early age of six.

At this time I started Shotokan Karate with the Karate Union of Wales, whose Chief Instructor is Sensei Mike O’Brien.

I attained my 1st Dan Black Belt at the age of 9, then my 2nd Dan, 7 years later and in 2002 I attained my 3rd Dan. I then attained my 4th Dan in December 2011 with Sensei Bo Channon under the WKC.

I joined the WSKO in May 2015 and was a Referee in the Welsh Open Championship.

I have won many Championships he is 5 Time Welsh Champion, K.B.I. International, North Wales Open Champion, and 2 time WKA Champion. Since the age of 23 I have represented Wales fighting for the WKGB Welsh Team in the Paris Open and the Dutch Open.
