Phil is a salt of the earth person who is extremely helpful and caring. He takes a keen interest in each and every student. He has limitless patience and positivity, and can help even the most frustrated student improve their technique. He is the kind of instructor who carries an extra bottle of water in his training bag just in case a student forgets to bring one to class. His classes are very popular, he is physically fit and has strong technique, great etiquette in the dojo, and is always happy. He encourages his students to give their best at every class and he will openly celebrate every milestone and improvement with them. Phil trains with his daughter Jemma and his grandson Alfie in our Langley dojo as a family of 3 generations of karate enthusiasts.
