In 1977 I started the first karate club in Byron Bay and expanded to include kickboxing and kung fu with the club producing state, national, and international champions in karate, kung fu and kickboxing while also contributing to the personal development, health and wellbeing of hundreds of locals of all ages. I started karate in 1974 and hold a 5th dan blackbelt awarded to me in 1996 by one of Japans great modern masters, Soke Teruo Hayashi. I am also a university professor and world leading figure in helping people learn in and through sport. I am in a perfect position to help you learn, find out about yourself and realise your potential.
