He continued while in the Royal Navy, where He also learnt Kendo and took several self defence seminars.

Peter Green 4th Dan
http://www.worldjudoalliance.com/
Peter started Judo some 18 years ago. Mainly because his children wanted some support whilst on the mat. He has always tried to study as many different ways to implement techniques as possible. No two organisations or associations do the same technique the same way. This means He is able to offer his students the best possibility of completing a technique when the time arrives, and have the confidence to initiate it, without panic. He is unbiased, he dose not think that any one way of teaching is right or wrong, just different, and you can always learn something new, regardless of grade. He will always strive to become better, and pass his knowledge on to anyone willing to learn.

Richard Burford 3rd Dan Karate
I started martial arts at the age of 11 in August 1986 due to being bullied at school. I began training in Kenilworth, Warwickshire in a style called Sakiado under the name of Peter Baines. This style of martial art was basically Korean based. Starting a martial art could not have been better as it gave me a huge boost in confidence. After a number of year’s I began to filter away from this establishment in order to join a freestyle organisation named U.K.A.S.K.O. (The United Kingdom All Styles Karate Organization.) It was through this organisation where I gained my black belt in 1994. From here on in the club I was affiliated to linked up to another freestyle organization & from here on in we began to formulate our own system of fighting. All the way through my martial arts career I have trained under an able-bodied syllabus, the reason I mention this is that I have a weakness on the left side of my body. The medical term for this is called Heamopleagic. This is down to slight scarring on the right hand side of my brain that mirrors over to the left hand side of my body. I am pleased to say I have managed so far and will continue to do so that I have reached a 3rd Dan status.

Wayne Swietoslawski Shihan 7th Dan
Wayne Swietoslawski runs small Ju Jitsu clubs in Herts, Northants and Surrey, mainly training small but enthusiastic groups of students that have sought him out to train them, as opposed to trying different marketing and advertising schemes to try and find students. It all began for Wayne in 1975, at the age of five when his father took him, along with his older brother, to a Ju Jitsu club in order to build his confidence along with his physical stature. He enjoyed his training and developed his skills quickly. His then instructor, the late Sensei Peter Monkman, seemed impressed with Wayne and his brother and would always teach them additional techniques at the end of each class. This spurred them both on to train harder. By the age of 10 Wayne reached black belt under Sensei Monkman with the World Ju Jitsu Federation. Whilst training with Sensei Monkman Wayne also began training with Shihan Ken Culshaw and Shihan Mally Holmes in Welham Green. From then on he attended as many courses, seminars and other martial art clubs as time (and his parents) would allow!
Shihan Swietoslawski now holds black belts or equivalents in eight martial arts:-

With such an impressive line up of instructors since 1975, Wayne teaches an eclectic system, predominantly consisting of Ju Jitsu, (but is mindful to keep the attitude of always being a student himself), drawing elements from as many of the arts he has learned as possible, passing this onto his students, and in line with the philosophies of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, lets them decide for themselves to absorb what they find useful and disregard what is not. Shihan Swietoslawski is the Chief Instructor of Shin Ei Kai Martial Arts, which was set up with Milton Keynes martial arts instructor Delroy Fairclough and also the Senior Master of Waskido Ryu Ju Jitsu. In addition to these associations, Wayne has also forged strong alliances with Itsu Shotokan’s Sensei Trevor Ford in Northampton and Shudan Martial Arts’ Jeff Gonsalves in Wellingborough, where these instructors teach and train together. He is also a patron to the Disability Martial Arts Association charity.
Nick Scott 6th Dan Takeda-Karate Hull
Nick Scott started in martial arts in 1973 he was just a teenager at the age of thirteen, he used to get bullied a lot at school when he was in junior school so he took up boxing then went on to karate. Nick took to karate like a duck to water his first sensei was frank Haynes what a black belt he was he worked hard to get Nick through his kyu grades then he passed away what a shame that was Nick achieved is first Dan in 1976 with sensei’s pete ablitt and Kevin o’loughlin Nick got diabetes in jan 1976 he coped with that worked really hard to open his first clubs he had a great many students about 60 in his clubs then he started to go up in his dan grades that to him was really great. Nick’s grading history is 1st Dan 1976 2nd Dan 78 3rd Dan 81 4th Dan 85 5th Dan 90 6th Dan 2006 the reason for a long period from 5th and 6th Dan is because Nick had kidney frailer had a transplant in 2005 and Nick just had 2 heart attacks on mothers day this year so he is letting his Dan grades look after his clubs until he is ready to return. Nick has done gardening's in Italy for the W.T.K.A. (world traditional karate association) and been to Middlesbrough and Hartlepool to do them as well he does kata judging as well he got his 6th Dan in Shotokan karate Nick loves doing karate just to keep the kids of the streets it is a passion to him. When Nick had his kidney transplant he was back at karate within 2 weeks he couldn’t stay away its hard for him now to keep from teaching the kids but he has a good wife who is a 4th Dan and great instructors at the club they will not let Nick do anything till its time for him to come back slowly which his think is dedication to him. Nick has done self defence for the Hull city Council and has never let any of his students down. He is on a grading panel for tradka in Leeds, and he help’s any martial arts club if they get stuck with anything.

Jamie Clubb
I was born into a travelling circus family and around street fighters and wild animal trainers. Settled down into the family business of training and supplying exotic animals for the media industry Became interested in martial arts at age 13 when I would box with my cousins and use a rolled up bit of canvas as a kick bag and a trapeze bar for pull-ups Started Sakiado at age 14 Almost had my hand torn off by a hyena at age 16. Martial arts discipline and attitude were an important part of my recovery. Got my first black belt at age 16 under the founder, Peter Baines, having won all the regional championships Switched to Taekwondo and stayed there for two years (mainly stagnating) Got another reality check at age 18 when I “sparred” with three street-fighters from the circus. Each bout brought home different undeniable flaws in the way I had been learning to fight over the past two years. I contacted Geoff Thompson and began following his methods straight after this event. He replied to each of my letters with a hand-written reply and his philosophy made a very strong impression on me, an impression that would stay with me for ten years. I began Kickboxing at age 18. I was given private tuition and made it to instructor level (1st Dan). I re-learnt plenty about real fighting – and loads about the scummy side of martial arts. I taught for four and a half years. A book on its own would not do justice to what happened during that time! I began cross-training in Wu Shu, Qigong and traditional Chinese martial arts under Shaolin temple disciple Laoshi Neil Genge in a desire to put on an original martial arts live performance. I studied them on and off for five years, gaining a blue sash. I also did a couple of weekends with Alaisdair Monteith’s Wu Shu Academy. During this time I began cross-training a lot more.
