Returning to Australia, Shihan trained in the style of Shita Ryu in N.S.W. Moving to the Victorian town of Sale, he commenced his Shotokan training at the Sale Karate School in 1975 eventually receiving his 1st Dan. Since this time, Shihan now holds Black Belt gradings in Shin-Bu-Kai(Goju Ryu), Heiwa-No-Tae(Shotokan) and Bugeido Karate(6th Dan). It was during this time that he qualified as a Shimpan (referee) and examiner.
