Renshi Kevin Smith

Kevin began training in martial arts at nine years of age in Shotokan Karate after being inspired by too many Bruce Lee movies.

At twelve he moved to judo, which he enjoyed until he was fifteen and then commenced training in Zen do Kai, of which he is currently a 4th Dan black belt.

His constant thirst for knowledge has also led to train in various other martial arts styles, which include Aikido, Muay Thai, Western Boxing, wrestling/ ground fighting and Arnis (Phillipino Stick Fighting).

Kevin says : "Arnis (Phillipino Stick Fighting) has added a new dimension to my martial arts training. Progression in the style has been a constant, pleasurable challenge and is always rewarding. I was fortunate enough to be taught personally from a very competent instructor, to a 1st Dan black belt, who provided me with a solid foundation and understanding of Arnis that I have been able to develop and refine."
