I studied several martial arts including Judo, Shotokan Karate and Lau-Gar Kung Fu before training in Bujinkan Ninjutsu under Simon Gaunt in the Isle of Man. I have subsequently trained under several instructors including Phil McNulty, Jim Jones (founder of the Bujinkan Reading)

​

I was awarded my Shidoshi (五段 - 5th Dan) in July 2016.

​

Whenever possible I train with Peter King (Shihan or 15th dan) who is internationally recognised and is one of the top instructors in the world.
