Si Fu Julian Wilde, knows how to deal with the simpler things in life, friend and teacher helped me a lot in my early attemps to run a martial arts school in England.

He was born in Norwich in 1951. Pursuing a lifelong love of all things Eastern led him to study the music, art, literature, culture, history and philosophy of India, Tibet and China. He began his Tai Chi and Qigong studies in the 1980's, beginning with the Yang style and the 24 Step Taiji and the Taiji Qigong exercises. After meeting Master Michael Tse (Tse Wei Jing) in 1989 he began to learn the Chen style of Tai Chi as well as the Dayan (wild goose) system of qigong and Chun Yuen, an offshoot of Northern Shaolin kung fu.

Si Fu Pete Dobson is the man who helped me build a solid foundation in Yang style Taiji (Tai Chi). He taught me push-hands and the Zhan Zhuang energy exercises a kind of soft Qigong.

The Tai Chi that he teaches, is a very strong and emotional Yang style. Pete also coaches boxing, sculpts, gives meditation sessions in prisons, teaches Taiji at drug rehabilitation centres, and runs.

Sifu Pete has been teaching Tai Chi since 1980. He is a student of Wee Kee Jin, and certified instructor for the Taiji School of Central Equilibrium. Quite a guy !

Sifu Mark Cook was my training partner during my years in England. Together did some good and hard workouts!
He is the Headmaster of 3 Family Fist Kung Fu a system that is based in Tiger, Crane and Dragon. We both started Combined Chinese and Filipino Boxing hand techniques and attributes in the way of fighting and researching. He is also the first man I did Hubad drill with.. (My students knows......)

His assistance has also been invaluable in helping me organize various seminars in UK. We are the founders of TKD - total knife defence.

Tuhon Ray Dionaldo is one of the most sought after Martial Arts instructors at an international level.

During this time, Ray's travels and experiences in Martial Arts combat had him see and be a part of situations that few can comprehend, including the instruction of Special Operations and Tactical Forces all around world.

Tuhon Ray is a true Grand Master of his art and proves that anyone can overcome fear and rejection to achieve the heights of confidence and success.

Guru Alekos Petrou is a unique teacher. He is a traditional teacher with lots of experience and years in teaching Kali and JKD. He is the first person who brought Kali in Greece!

At the practice he will always and repeatedly point at you, your mistakes. He will fight you so you'll be able to understand how the technique is working.

I'm inspired by him and I'm trying to be as good as he is.
He changed (for better) the way I'm holding the stick, defending and fighting with the stick. He is a true fighter.

From his early years he had an interest in martial arts. The first art he studied was Judo and then Tae Kwon Do, on which he reached the blue / brown belt.

Later he moved to boxing and in 1983 he met Philipp Bayer who made Ving Tsun known in Germany. He started a tough and dynamic training and after 3 months he was granted by Master P. Bayer private lessons with great success. In 1985 E. Zitakis completed the course Ving Tsun / Teacher and had the honor to become the general representative in Greece of: Ving Tsun Martial Arts Association. Zitakis is a good fighter and a good friend. I love his humor.

Eric Clark, a tough guy from Scotland.
Friend and teacher, tought me everything I know about street fighting. He tought me almost all the "secrets of bouncing" what to do and what to not do. I used to work for him, and there was many times that we train together mostly in knifes and dirty boxing.

He is fast, vicious, knows every stroke and he'll fight you with everything he has. Gods and Ghosts afraid of him. It has been said that the fighter's thoughts and actions must be like one flash of lighting. This is Eric.

My first teacher in Shaolin Kung Fu when I was at the age of 16 years old. I still remember the hand drills and the speed we was working with.

He trained in Singapure under Master Cheung Meng Joo.

His fighting hands looks like the panantukan I'm familiar with the last years. He was very calm with himself and his enviroment. I lost his tracks long time ago but I still respect him and recall him as one of my first teachers in Shaolin Gung Fu.
