I started training in martial arts in 1984 back in Ireland.
I began training in a modern style of Karate called Mugendo “The Unlimited Way” which later became a method of Kick Boxing with many Mugendo fighters dominating the European kick boxing scene in the mid 1980s.
I was personally trained by Prof. George Canning in Ireland who introduced Karate to Ireland in the 1960s and a decade later he introduced full contact Kick Boxing to Ireland and trained many World Champions, European, British and Irish Champions and top names within the security industry. I trained under George for over 21+ years and I graded to 4th Dan black belt in Mugendo and became one of four people to ever be awarded the prestigious Mugendo Bodyguard Shield.
I was always interested in the street self defense application of martial arts and for over 27 years I studied everything and anything to do with street self defense. This interested lead me to discover Krav Maga back in the year 2001. I was always able to apply my Mugendo Kick Boxing skills to street self defense, however I always felt something was missing as regards street defensive tactics. When I discovered Krav Maga and saw how deadly effective Krav Maga is on the street, I knew I had found what I was looking for!
Since 2001 I immersed myself in the study of Krav Maga. In 2005 I traveled to Israel and I completed a 30 day 8 to 12 hours a day training intensive Krav Maga instructors course where I trained with some of the best Krav Maga experts in the world.
In 2007 I discovered a more lethal effective method of Krav Maga which also uses simple deadly basic Krav Maga techniques which was developed by a former Israeli Yamam Unit Special Force Commando who also served as Head of Krav Maga in the Israeli Defense Forces called Itay Gil. I was immediately impressed by how simple yet deadly Itay Gils Military Krav Maga style is, and I re-certified as an instructor under Tactical Krav Maga.
I also completed several Israeli Point Shoot courses under Major Guy M who serves with the IDF and was a member of the Israeli Defense Forces most elite units.
This is the version of Krav Maga we teach at Kombat Fight Club Krav Maga and this is the simple but deadly Krav Maga that you will learn when you do your intensive Krav Maga training course in Pattaya at Kombat Fight Club.
In addition to Krav Maga we also include in your Krav Maga course elements of Defensive Tactics, Reality Based Self Defense, Kapap, Combatives, World War Two Fairbairn Combatives, and Military Hand To Hand Combat.
I have over 25 years active experience in Self Defense Martial Arts and over 10 years experience in Krav Maga. I have been teaching Krav Maga since 2003 and I introduced Krav Maga into Thailand and I have taught hundreds of students who travel to Thailand specifically to learn Krav Maga since 2007.
I look forward to teaching you how to protect yourself from street attackers using Krav Maga and mentoring you on our exciting Krav Maga Course at Kombat Fight Club in Pattaya Thailand.
