Brian is one of Britain’s leading martial arts exponents. He has travelled the world far and wide entering and winning tournaments. Recent tournaments have seen him come away with British, European and World titles and with nearly 30 years of experience he has what it takes to coach and pass on his skills to other people interested in learning martial arts and self defence. The style which Brian teaches is Lau-Gar Kung Fu - a soft form of Chinese Boxing first brought over to England in the seventies by Master Jeremy Yau - who’s leading club is based in Birmingham.

The holder of three world, three European championships and countless British titles, Brian is considered to be the country’s top instructor of Lau Gar Kung fu and Kickboxing.

He has appeared in and on the covers of martial arts magazines, chiefly COMBAT Magazine and Martial Arts Illustrated expressing his thoughts on training, competitions, traditional techniques - a solid advocate - and fellow practitioners and opponents.
