Hi, I’m Richard,

I’ve been into martial arts off and on since I was about five, starting with Judo, and moving onto kickboxing in my early twenties. After training and fighting in Australia for five years I had a long break from the sport until four years ago when I discovered Proactive Martial Arts or should I say, they discovered me.

I love teaching my students new skills and helping them to do better. The family atmosphere is great at Proactive, and I get to meet all sorts of interesting people and see them grow in skills and confidence. My speciality is, ……making people sweat!

My daytime job as house hold executive and my four year old son keep me busy when I’m not building or writing lesson plans.
