About Our Instructors
Tony Hands (Chief Instructor)
I first started training in martial arts around 1982, doing Escrima and kickboxing.
​
When that club closed I started in Japanese jiu-jitsu, sometime around 1989, getting my 1st Dan in 1998.
​
Whilst still doing jiu-jitsu I started training in Kalis Ilustrisimo, which is a bladed art as opposed to the more popular stick arts.
​
​
Over the years I had been introduced to Bob Breen and his JKD/Kali system but didn’t train consistently with him until about 2015, gaining my black belt with him in 4D Combat.
​
Always having had an interest in ground fighting from Japanese jiu jitsu and Judo i have been training Brazilian jiu jitsu under Arlans Siqueira on and off for many years.
