Southend Combat Academy

Either somehow getting involved in scrapes (I blame it on being a red head) or being a fan of watching others go at it, it's always fascinated me. For me, like so many, it was watching Bruce Lee from a young age that started it all; the guy blew my mind then and still does now. Although I had followed Bushido, the forerunner to mma as we now know it, the UFC really was the real deal and the organization has been responsible for main stream media attention the athletes now get.

They made it the fastest growing sport in history. Over the years I've tasted all manors of martial arts and have been lucky to train alongside some of the worlds most accredited fighters and instructors and made some awesome friends along the way. I've always considered myself a student, but equally I've always taken great pleasure in sharing any knowledge I may have with others and I enjoy coaching as much as learning.
