About Our Director

I am a professional martial arts trainer with 25 years of experience in both studying and teaching. I offer classes for children and adults, as well as personal training sessions. I continuously seek to improve my skills through international training camps and workshops, and I compete at both national and international levels. Throughout my career, I have achieved a 5th Dan Black Belt from JKA Japan and a 4th Dan Black Belt in Shaolin Kung Fu. Additionally, I am a certified Kickboxer and have trained in Muay Thai in Thailand. I was honored to receive the Employee of the Year award at The British Club in Abu Dhabi in 2008. My competitive achievements include being a Bronze Medalist at the World Karate Championship in Australia in 2010, winning the UAE Karate Championship in Dubai in 2011, and earning a 4th Prize at the World Karate Championship in Turkey in 2013. In 2014, I participated in Muay Thai training in Thailand and attended the Japanese Karate Association’s International Black Belt Training Camp. I also earned a Silver Medal at the UAE Open Karate Championship in Dubai that same year. My experiences include attending the Ultimate Karate Fighters Boot Camp at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK, and participating in the Swiss Karate Do Symposium International Karate Camp in Switzerland in 2016, where I secured 1st Prize at the UAE Open Karate Championship. I am dedicated to sharing my passion for martial arts and helping my students achieve their personal goals.
