Billy started training in Karate in 1967. After surviving and fending off two older brothers, Billy got interested in boxing in his very young days. Billy then joined scouting which then led to practising Judo, which in turn lead to Karate training for very many years. Later Billy practised Aikido, Kendo, Bojitsu, Jujitsu, Taikwando, as well as little bit of Tai Chi, Kungfu, Yoga and other martial arts.

Billy has a BSc Quality Management and Technology, HNC Information Technology and City and Guilds in Mechanical Engineering:

Billy also studied a variety of physiological disciplines including TA, NLP and DBM. Billy is a qualified Trainer in NLP and has trained as a Trainer of DBM. He uses these skills in a variety of ways but especially in the development of effective training models to increase the learning capacity and speed of his students in the martial arts arena.
