He has improved the skills of top Taekwondo players as well as Thai Boxers, Karate practitioners and Kick Boxers.

 

Neil was the first person ever in the history of Chan Dao MAA to reach the level of Full Instructor outside mainland China. Two years later he achieved the accolade of Master of Kung Fu at age 43. Neil first started teaching in 1995. In this time he has gained a great deal from sharing his knowledge with adults and children across all ages.

 

He has studied weaponry as well as empty hand styles intensively. Neil has, for many years  worked on doors in night clubs and as a young man found himself in some very tricky situations. For nearly three decades Neil has formulated a highly effective system of Self Defence and  Street Defence classes for Men and Women, young and old.
