Instructor Team

KMG Expert Level 1 - Civilian Instructor, Close Protection Instructor

Inspired by Daniel Laruso, I first trained in Karate and Kickboxing, then sought out a system focused primarily on self-defence. I found Krav Maga. I started Krav Maga training with a horizon in sight but found reward and inspiration that propelled me ever onwards and spilled over into all areas of my life. It is now my honour to hold the door open for others to discover the same.

KMG Graduate Level 4 - Civilian Instructor, Close Protection Instructor

After trying a few different martial arts growing up; Judo, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and later pursuing a very physically active career serving with the British Army Reserves I was always looking for a fighting style which would prepare me mentally and physically for whatever situation I might encounter. 

I think it was inevitable that I would find what I was looking for in Krav Maga; with its principal focus on efficiency and specific training to prepare for real-world scenarios. I remain fully engaged to this day as both a student pursuing Krav Maga training and an instructor delivering Krav Maga classes.

KMG Graduate Level 1 - Civilian Instructor, Kids Instructor

I started training in Krav Maga in 2008; I think Alistair and I did our P2 grading together in 2012! A candid street photographer, I found myself increasingly involved in minor altercations that made me realise that I had no idea what to do in potentially violent situations, though I was already quite fit and strong. I wanted something quicker and more straightforward to learn, and something focused on self defence rather than a sport; the aim was to just gain some basic tools and continue to focus on making art. Little was I to know that I’d soon go from being a regular artist to a martial artist, with Krav Maga rapidly taking over my life! I found I could use my experience as an exercise fanatic, a former school teacher and a law graduate, bringing the knowledge from all those spheres together into an overlapping discipline in a way that provides my students with a unique learning experience. I now teach classes and work as a PT, focusing on Krav Maga, boxing, combat conditioning, general physical preparedness, and sports (p)rehabilitation.
