"I started my first lesson in 1976, in Sherwood - Nottingham, above the "Robin Hood" pub.
I was 16 years of age and the instructor was a women named Hillary.
When I moved to Ilkeston, I trained with Ray Evans for 8 years.
Ray is a top martial arts man; who still teaches in Ilkeston today.
I did a lot of boxing in the 1980's with Stuart Shaw and Richard
Penansai from Alfreton. I trained in Kick Thai Boxing and TaeKwonDo
at Grandmaster
Vohra's Academy on Ilkeston Road, Nottingham with
Master Vohra (8th Dan).
I was a doorman at various pubs and clubs in and around Notts. Back then it was tough on the doors - you needed to prove yourself or you wouldn't last long. They were hard but very good old days!
In 2004, I set up the "INCREDIBLE" Kick Boxing Academy - mainly teaching all
ages around my local area of Wymeswold. I decided we needed a gym
as we had a lot of of people wanting to come and train with us. We
could not afford to rent anywhere so in 2007, I located it above
my premises - Nottingham
Office Furniture and gradually aquired all the equipment we have today.
I promote charity fight nights, which gives all the fighters a chance to fight in the ring (if they wish to) plus raise money for local charities.
Its a great place to train, get fit and meet new friends - come and see me."
