Introduction

My journey began with Martial Arts in 1991 with The Te Shin Kai Karate Do organisation under Shihan Barry Johnston’s expert instruction. After my first lesson I knew that I had found the path in which I would follow, also that I would be involved in Martial Arts for the rest of my life. Martial Arts has personally given me physical conditioning, self-control, more energy, better concentration, weight control, inner peace, honour and humility has made me better at avoiding conflict. I find teaching rewarding as I believe in my students and enjoy watching their continual improvement. The smile on my students face when the penny drops after I help them work out something that they have been struggling with is very rewarding to me. , I love helping people achieve their goals. I had the honour of assisting with the training of secondary school students in the ACSD Skills for Life program which I believe is an integral part of children's development, especially for at risk children. I enjoy coaching and training alongside my own children and I am proud that my children live by the core values of the Martial Arts. Which enables them to make healthy life choices, foster healthy respectful relationships and be good role models for others.
