All are presented and accessible regardless of the complexity of the topic, each person makes progress at their own pace.Belt and Certification are available according to knowledge, interest, and skill. We present a non-competitive, yet challenging and welcoming space in which powerful truths are presented in ways that become good practice rather than the latest fad or fashion.It's not superficial, in-your-face, shouting at you about how to be tough, have the perfect body, be the envy of your friends, be the best or the greatest. It will feel accepting, welcoming, open, honest, kind, and challenging.

He gained his Black Belt in December 1980 and at that time was involved in fighting in all classes, many tournaments and Full Contact bouts.He left Ireland to find work in London and became involved in a variety of martial arts including Tai Chi, Kendo and Kung Fu. He returned to further education and entered an Honours Degree Programme in Social Science and Social Work at Middlesex Polytechnic. At college he led the Martial Arts Society and taught a self defence programme for free to students until he graduated in 1985.ONeill returned to Ireland and began his career as a social worker, he returned briefly to karate but soon began to explore and search other martial arts. In 1987 he met Steve and Mike Krause who were Instructors under Guro Dan Inosanto at the time and enrolled with them as an Apprentice Instructor.After six years as an Apprentice with the Krause Brothers JKD Concepts he had reached a good level of proficiency in the programme in which he was ranked Associate Senior Phase 2 which at that time consisted of JKD Kickboxing, Jun Fan Wing Chun, Kali, Silat, and Thai Boxing, he began looking further afield.He travelled to America and trained with Instructor Sifu Lamar Davis II who is a well-known professional martial artist.
