I teach a system of martial arts called "Hakuda Kempo Toshu Jutsu" which is a modern system based on various traditional styles of Karate, Jujutsu, Kobudo and Kung Fu.

Unlike many forms of Karate, our system is completely functional for self defence and is taught according to a scientific hypothesis called The Bushinkai Method which emphasises that tuition is taught via three sciences (the science of violence, the science of technique and the science of learning).

I became interested in martial arts as a child and I'm the third generation of martial arts instructors in my family.

I was graded to 3rd Dan in Karatedo and 2nd Dan Nihon Jujutsu by Japan's oldest martial arts fraternity the Kokusai Budoin and I also hold the grades of 4th Dan (freestyle) with the WKA and 2nd Dan Karate Jutsu (FEKO).

I teach Toshu Jutsu in Van Dangs in Manchester City centre and I also run a Tai Chi class in the nearby Sunshine Studios. Please visit my websites for more information.

I am also the chairman of a multi-discipline martial arts association called TEMAA which has main centres in Manchester, Yorkshire, Liverpool, Nottinghamshire and across Lancashire.
