I started my Martial Arts journey 17 years ago when I started in the art of western boxing, which I still practice today, as it is my first love. At around the same time I started learning Thai-Boxing and Tae-Kwondo at Master Toddy.s gym.I practised these three arts diligently for 6 years looking for a slant towards reality. I had no idea what a real street fight was like so I thought I was learning how to defend myself until I actually saw a pub brawl in the city town centre and thought all my techniques and all my moves wouldn't have helped me.
Then I found a gym in China Town George Street Manchester while I was with my pal one day and walked up the stairs to have a look.
When we walked in I was in awe of these gi clad martial artists all shouting and blasting the big pads.The instructor was Steve Powell
