My Philosophy on Martial Arts

Follow this link 'Joes Bio' you will be able to trace my history and get some idea of how my philosophy has evolved.

Although I want to keep fit and continue to develop my skills and still remain very active training/sparring wise with my students, I have past a half century in age and no longer a desire to prove anything to myself or anyone else. I am now a teacher, coach, mentor & friend to my students.

I have now done more than 30 years studying various martial arts and have decided that boxing skills combined with a little wrestling/judo or jiu jitsu is the fastest/safest and most efficient route to effective self defence. Many martial arts instructors talk about lethal techniques but for me if it can't be practised in combat I have my doubts if it can be used for real. Even if they can real sparring/combat is so much more fun than endless practice with the imaginary.

Although I did my competitive career in mostly karate and won national titles and competed internationally, I would have loved to represented my country in commonwealth games or Olympics and so even if most of my students will not compete I want those who truly have the talent to know no limit and lets face it there is no payoff in combat sports comparable to what can be earned in boxing.

However I want my school to be for everyone competitors are expected to help others and we all share victories and defeats. All students are therefore treated equally in my school as we all work as a team and respect and humility are most revered qualities here.
