During his teenage years after a few close scrapes and street fights he joined the Freestylers Thai Boxing gym in Wolverhampton. There he trained with some of the worlds top Thai boxers and learned, by the way of some bloody noses and bruises how to fight and more importantly, when not to. 

In the mid 90's he studied the Advanced Teaching Cert in Personal Safety & Conflict Resolution with the British Self Defence Governing Body. Around the same time he met Sensei Phil Collins 3rd Dan, who was a PTI for West Midlands Police. Paul then turned his hand to Taiho Jutsu.
He now has over 15 years experience in the art and has been teaching and coaching for over 10 years.
