From the age of 10 I have taken a deep interest in & pursued the Martial Way. I have had the privilege to study with some of the most gifted Martial Arts par excellence, based here in the UK as well as abroad, for this I am truly grateful. My initial training began whilst studying at school, the style of Martial Art was Kyokushinkai Karate it was very hard training but I actually enjoyed the hardship at the same time I was introduced to Judo & Boxing I trained in both of these Styles on & off for 3 years. My search continued & I found my Mentor and Teacher at a training hall in Durning Hall Forest Gate his name was "Leon" otherwise known as Grandmaster Arthur Fitgerald Nichols he was and is the consummate Martial Artist. I have been a student of "Leon's" for over 25 years and will always hold him in the highest regard. I have also had the honour to train under Grandmaster Christopher Lai Khee Choong for many years also.

I have been fortunate enough to compete in many various forms of Full contact fighting namely Sanshou, KuoShu, Boxing, Thai/Kick - Boxing, Grapple & Strike, Cage etc all at a national as well as International level as well as forms & weapons.

Under the various governing bodies namely BCCMA/ICKF/EWF/IWF/BCKF - (British Council for Chinese Martial Arts - International Chinese Kuo Shu Federation - European Wu Shu Federation - International Wu Shu Federation - British Chinese Kuo Shu Federation)

I have experience within other Martial Arts Systems including Pencak Silat, Wing Chun, Ying Jow Pai, Tae Kwon Do, Ju Jitsu, BJJ, and Shuai Chiao also FMA & New Breed System.

Competing is a choice for each student but in doing so allows them to put into practice the techniques learnt & understood then applied in a full contact environment.

The ASCMMAS School do not follow a grading belt system but adhere to a three level ability standard (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced) with the knowledge of what is learnt and understood will then be able to be applied if and when the situation arises. Defense of oneself or loved ones is not only a physical thing but even more importantly a mental approach as self awareness & reaction are two of the greatest attributes for a real Martial Artist to have and continually nurture.

We look forward to training YOU!!  a nd continually learning what the Martial Arts are really about and how they can be applied.
