About Joe
I'm a passionate and experienced martial artist and instructor, dedicated to sharing the benefits of traditional Chinese Kung Fu with students of all backgrounds and abilities.
I have over 14 years of experience training in Baji Zhandao Kung Fu, in which I hold a 2nd Black Sash. I'm also a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Bujinkan Ninjutsu, with additional experience in Urban Krav Maga. This diverse background has given me a broad understanding of traditional martial arts, practical self-defence, body mechanics and personal development.
My passion for teaching comes from seeing students grow in confidence, develop new skills and discover abilities they never knew they had.
I believe martial arts should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, fitness or previous experience. My teaching style is patient, supportive and structured, while encouraging students to challenge themselves and progress at their own pace.
Above all, I aim to create a friendly, respectful and ego-free training environment where students can develop genuine martial arts skills, improve their physical and mental wellbeing, and enjoy the journey of lifelong learning.
Whether you're taking your first steps into martial arts or looking to deepen your existing practice, I'd be delighted to help you progress.

Discover traditional Chinese Kung Fu through Baji Zhandao, a dynamic martial art combining powerful striking techniques, practical self-defence, traditional forms and internal training.
My teaching approach combines traditional martial arts principles with structured, practical instruction. Lessons focus on developing good technique, coordination, balance, power, confidence and body awareness, with an emphasis on understanding how movements work rather than simply memorising them.
**What you'll learn:**
- Traditional Chinese Kung Fu techniques and forms
- Striking, footwork and practical self-defence applications
- Partner exercises and martial arts drills
- Qigong, breathing and body conditioning
- Coordination, flexibility, balance and mental focus
**Private tuition (in person):** Personalised 60-minute sessions tailored to your experience, abilities and goals. All in-person private lessons take place exclusively at Battersea Park, London, providing a dedicated training environment. Lessons are available by prior arrangement, subject to availability.
**Online private tuition:** I also offer personalised 60-minute online lessons focusing on traditional forms, footwork, striking mechanics, Qigong and individual technical development. Online sessions offer greater flexibility in scheduling and are available by mutual arrangement.
**Group classes:** Friendly, structured two-hour sessions held in Battersea Park, London, on Wednesday evenings (6:30–8:30pm) and Saturday afternoons (2–4pm). Train alongside supportive, like-minded students in an encouraging environment.
**Who can join?**
Adults of all experience levels are welcome, from complete beginners to experienced martial artists. No previous martial arts experience is required.
My aim is to help every student build confidence, develop genuine martial arts skills and enjoy the lifelong benefits of traditional Kung Fu training.

Joe is a truly wonderful teacher who consistently goes above and beyond for his students. His dedication extends far beyond martial arts, offering valuable guidance on fitness, injury prevention and general well-being, often taking the time to share thoughtful advice outside of lessons.
His classes are thorough and packed with different martial arts techniques, all taught with great patience and attention to detail. He has a remarkable ability to strike the perfect balance between challenging experienced students and supporting beginners, creating an inclusive and encouraging environment where everyone can learn and grow together.
What makes Joe's teaching so special is that his classes nourish not just the body, but also the mind and soul.
I'm genuinely grateful to have found such an exceptional teacher.Joe has been my kung fu teacher of this unique system for a few months now. From the initial first contact by text, I just felt Joe had the attributes of someone gifted with the ability to teach.
Joe is a genuinely fantastic teacher of this great kung fu system,which also has an emphasis on preservation of health and mobility.
Great for old and young,and a feeling of strength inwardly and outwardly after every class.I have been practicing Baji Zhandao Kung Fu with Joe and his community for more than a year and I'm absolutely loving it.
His extremely patient, caring and knowledgeable attitude create a great environment for learning and I leave every class more enriched than before.
This style of Kung Fu not only allows for the mind and body to grow but it has real life applications when it comes to self defence. Couldn't recommend it enough!Joe is a natural and experienced teacher who can adapt to the level of the student. He gives very clear instructions, makes every step fun and down to earth, while also sharing a bit of philosophy along the way. His Qigong sessions are out of this world.
