My passion for the martial arts began as a boy obsessed with watching kung fu movies and cartoons. During my teenage years a close friend of mine started training at Kung Fu and would incessantly go on for hours on end about it. Eventually iI would go along to try it for myself, and would come to find Nam Pai Chuan as the art perfect for me.

I started training GCMNPC in 2004 in the Horowhenua region of NZ until the completion of my tertiary studies. During my time there I would go on to teach centres in Foxton and Levin, creating many amazing friendships and memories. Upon completion of a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I moved to Wellington where I now instruct in Johnsonville.

A Youth Sports Coach by trade, I have found that seeing someone learn how to move, control, and perform at the highest level while enjoying doing so is one of the greatest things we can provide others. I am fortunate enough to be able to contribute to my community and society in this way through both my profession and my passion – Kung Fu.

A central emphasis of NPC is that it is a Martial Art to be shared, and by doing so enriching the lives of others. No one in this world achieves without supportive people around them. I have been fortunate enough throughout my time in NPC to have come across many people (teachers, training partners, students) that helped me to build towards where I am today. This is a debt I endeavor to pay forward by providing guidance to a new generation.
