I started training under the instruction of sensei Terry O’Neill at the samurai martial arts centre in Liverpool. This was brought about by a spate of bulling at school, which after certain guidance from sensei O’Neill was stopped never to rear its ugly head again.
At the samurai martial arts centre I was to follow shotokan style karate for 4 years.
This was the finest instruction I was ever to receive. (Not the style but the actual teaching)

After this I trained at the red triangle under Andy sherry and frank Brennan for around a year but due to family problems my mum moved back to Bolton taking me with her.
