Carl has been training martial arts for over 20 years and teaching for the past 16.  He studied Wing Chun Kung Fu for a number of years before finding Jeet Kune Do/ Kali at the Bob Breen Academy where he has been training since 1999.  During this time he has achieved Black Belt level under Guro Breen and is the resident Escrima instructor at the Academy. He’s also an instructor in both Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipino Martial Arts under Dan Inosanto, David Onuma and Rick Faye as well as trainee instructor under Grand Master Oliver Bersabel in Koredas Obra Mano Arnis, a traditional Filipino system.

He has been fortunate to spend long periods training abroad. Most notably; Wu Shu in Shaolin, China, Arnis in the Philippines, Muay Thai at Yodyut Gym, Thailand as well as time at the Inosanto Academy in LA.  He has competed in boxing and kickboxing (inter-club), nationally in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Gracie Invitational) and represented Great Britain for 12 consecutive years in full contact stick fighting (Kali/Escrima/Arnis). Fighting throughout Europe and as far afield as Mexico and Las Vegas,, amassing 16 British titles, 3 European titles and 6 World championship silvers.

Considered a highly technical instructor he uses his wealth of knowledge in the respective arts and his fight experience to develop students of any level.  Delivering individualised teaching, benefitting complete beginners as well as seasoned black belts.

Carl is a fantastic Instructor and one of the most talented Stick Fighters and Martial Artists, not only in the UK, but around the world. I have had the opportunity to train with many world class Martial Artists and Guro Carl is without a doubt up there with the best!
