He was interested in learning kung fu in the early 80's. He worked with Sifu at the time ( who was a Mechanical Engineer) and mentioned that he would like to start training. Kevin loved the Bruce Lee films, and had become a Bruce Lee fan. Sifu invited him along to watch a class. Kevin went along, loved it, and has been there ever since. Kevin began training in Kung Fu way back in 1982 at Pontypool S. Wales, under Sifu Derrick Williams (4th Tengchi).

Kevin likes the philosophy side of kung fu, the physical and mental discipline required to be able to perform to the best of your ability. Kevin calls it the whole journey. And he sees in the West many classes who actually teach only a small part of the Martial Arts.

Apart from a 'forced break' from training in 1991, Kevin has trained in and stayed loyal to the Chinese Martial Art of Kung Fu Wu Shu and the style. He is very pro-Kung Fu.

Kevin started Kung Fu in his late twenties and therefore maybe missed his best years of competition. But he has fought and enjoyed competing in Semi-contact tournaments with some success, and has good memories of fights and trophies and medals won.

He was the 'cornerman' and 'second' of Sifu on almost every occassion of 'Full Contact fighting', travelling around the country and attending the gruelling daily training sessions. Also he was interviewed on HTV television before one of Sifu's title defences and 'sparred' with Sifu in 'The Garage Gym' for a TV performance on the same channel before Sifu went to China in 1997.

Kevin is a true student of traditional Kung Fu Wushu and still trains regularly at the classes and privately.

In his spare time Kevin is a big fan of his favourite football team, Wolverhamton Wanderers, and is a 'season ticket' holder there. Kevin won a few footbal trophies during his playing time.

Kevins says his ambition is be the fittest grandad still training, and to train with his grand children. Also to visit China one day.

Kevins message to any student still training is.

"Its not your age its your attitude to life".
And ... "Kung Fu is a journey, not a destination".
