Hi my name’s Nick & I’ve been training in martial arts for about 20 years now, having studied many different styles over the years. I got into martial arts at a early age to basically learn how to defend myself if a situation would arise.

I really enjoyed what the styles had to offer & what I was being taught, but always walked away disillusioned & wasn’t convinced by what they where selling as self defence.

My questions where answered when I read an advert on a local internet message board regarding real world self protection classes.

I went along to the Inner City Combat Club after the first class I had found the answer I had been searching for, I spent 4 years training at the Inner City Combat Club under the guidance of Head instructor Clive Girdham, Clive was Australia’s first Senshido Rep & a qualified instructor from Geoff Thompson’s British Combat Association.

Although Clive doesn’t teach a class anymore, i have been continuing private training with him on a weekly basis.

20 years on i still have a passion & respect for all the Martial Arts, last couple of months i have thrown on a white belt, judo Gi & been hitting the mats.

For me its all about having a healthy balance to training & having a healthy out look on life.

In the past 18 months I have been very fortunate enough to have been taught by the following top international instructors Rich Dimitri, John B Will, Deane Lawler & Ray Floro.
