Snake's Domain

The Snake and his roots in training,his inspirations & his Thanks

Martial arts is a way of life for many ,and i am much the same ,the only difference is that with me is that i am not going to compete in the UFC ,make feature films or infiltrate some country with the armed forces ,i do it for pleasure and the fascination of the arts.

I have trained in Jiujitsu -Taekwondo and various weapons along the way as well as having delved in to Tai chi and other arts mainly because of people i know who have taught me various techniques from those arts.

Also there have been people who have inspired me to delve greater in to it as well ,some are teachers and some are fellow practitioners ,others are film stars or Icons in the arts and some are all of thee above .

With all this input from various people ,this makes me the martial artist i am whether it be a good one or a mediocre one ,but without these people's influences would have i attained the well being i have within myself to carry on training .below are listed these persons who have inspired and taught me.

From the world of Jiujitsu my thanks go to the following - Professor James McDade from the former Meadway Jiujitsu club -

Soke Richard Morris from World Kobudo and Jiujitsu International -

Soke Brian Cheek from World Kobudo and W.E.B.B.S

Sensei Gary Clark from World Kobudo

Sensei Bryan Morris from World Kobudo and Jiujitsu International and to the memory of Sensei Bob Carmichael from the former Meadway Jiujitsu club.

From the world of Taekwondo my thanks go to the Following Kwan jang nim Errol Hart of Hart's Taekwondo There are others from Taekwondo but their last names escape me so listed here are their first Gary - Colin - Volod -Russ -Lisa -Reno

From the world of Kung Fu i thank two of our members The mighty Cloudtoe and The Snow Leopard

From the world of Karate i thank another two members who also have a grounding in Taekwondo as well but i will list there first art as there stature. First is Ricardo Next is Wong Fei Huang

Also along my way i have been fortunate to have met some household names and i thank these as well ,as there influence is also important within my training years and as inspiration to start in the first place. First my thanks go to Jackie Chan as the first real influence to start martial arts.

Second Cynthia Rothrock a western icon who can cut it with the best. Next is Donnie Yen an awesome fighter and action star .

Then we have Jet Li seeing him do a form surrounded by like 400 people is pure bliss and it was silent till he finished.

James Demille who i talked to for some 10 minutes not realizing who he was till he was announced on stage to perform Bruce Lee's one inch punch technique' and for those who do not know him ,he was one of Bruce Lee's first students in the US.

Winston Ellis a fighter who made a few Hong Kong style Flicks ,one here in the UK.

Simon Yam a genuine Mr,Nice Guy who has proven him self a great action star in all parts from his Iconic Killers Romance right up to Ip-man with Donnie Yen

And a lot of these people i would have not met with out the hard work of certain people within the nineties who championed Martial arts and action cinema these persons are Rick Baker / Bey Logan / John T Brennan / Chris Alexis / Chris Mercer.

And last my thanks go to Bruce Lee as the master he was and for the inspiration he has given others to find their path.You know there's nothing like trying on the gloves he wore from Enter the Dragon when he Fought Sammo at the beginning 'Awesome ' my thanks to Chris Alexis for this awe inspiring moment.
