Teacher Profile

As a dedicated and passionate practitioner, I am committed to preserving the Yang Mian family system in passing down ancient wisdom and skill. As a life long dedicated martial artist in various styles, I met my late friend around 2005 who dedicated his life to kung fu, travelling all over the world to train the best Kung Fu with Shaolin monks. He introduced me to Master Yang and both changed my perspective, introducing me to internal arts through personalised training. This is where my journey in the system began.

In 2013 I suffered from a lower back injury that resulted in complications and I was inactive of a period of time, after western medicine only resulted in temporary relief. Although a martial arts system, I understood the deep health benefits and have been more than determined than ever to train. The injury was an awakening that forced me to find the correct balance between hardness and softness with more relaxed calligraphy based movements which aligned my energy through deep conscious breathing, restored my posture and mobility back to normal, now living pain-free. This only enhanced my martial arts capabilities with flowing energy that results into explosive power with minimal effort.

With many years of training and teaching new students, I bring a tailored approach backed by years of experience, heart and self defence psychology into the mix, inherited from real world experience and past situations. With calm energy and clear explanation I guide my students to reconnect with their bodies and exercise a deeper level of awareness of their internal world and how it relates to the external world. From this point on I will continue my mission pass down the knowledge, skill and passion.
