DJ has been training in martial arts since 1982. Being both a black belt in Karate and a black sash in Kung Fu, he has a strong understanding of striking on all ranges and is very skilled in sparring and close quarters combat drills. He has been a martial arts instructor, a tournament referee and a grading assessor since 2006. He has taught martial arts full time for 8 years. His classes are varied and very interesting which reflects his experience as an instructor. He is a calm, well-mannered, and a warm person and we feel lucky to have him in our club. DJ trains in our Maidenhead dojo with his wife Sarah who is also a black belt student of our club and an experienced instructor.
