Wow today it is

25 yrs...

I worked on the railways for a long time and many old guys had much more service. But it is what i fitted in to those years. Some had 30 yrs but only ever worked in one location and never extended themselves. I did a great deal more in 13 yrs.

In 25 yrs of Taekwondo  and Martial Arts i have achieved a bit;
7th Dan unbroken true service to WTF training teaching coaching mentoring
A blackbelt in Kyusho Jitsu
Blackbelt level in MMA Combat style
Olympic Selector
Australian Champion NSW and VIC too
Coach to many champions, International Medallists.
4 times to Korea
Australian Youth Olympic Festival Head of Team, Manager, Media Liaison to AOC
NSW Sports Director, Australian Chair Sport Board
NSW Coach
PostGradDipAppSc SPort Coach
Grading over 150 Blackbelts
Trained with International icons and Olympians
Taught since 1990
Blackbelt since 1987, were you born then ???
Some say i was teaching when some hobby instructors were still in nappies how funny
Too much to write about you will have to read about it in my book due out soon. Then i can add author.

It is the quality not just teaching out of a school or community hall without growth

My biggest achievement may be getting Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu Blackbelt one day, what an honour it would be
