Background:

As a boy, Gary trained in Boxing, under the guidance of his father and grandfather. As a young man, he joined the Australian Army and went on to become a Weapons and Drill Instructor. It was during this time that he discovered Martial Arts, and now, after 30 years experience, holds Dan ranks in Tae Kwon Do, Freestyle Karate and Chinese Kenpo.

Founding Chikara Karate in 2000, Gary is justifiably very proud of his students, a number of whom have become NAS State and National Champions.
