Liam Spowage - Instructor 

Training in Martial Arts started for me back in 96/97 after serving several years in the Armed Forces.  It was mainly bits and bobs back then; training with a couple of major Nottingham based Martial Arts clubs but not really following any proper structures or syllabus.

In Early 2006 I joined a large organisation which is where I really started to study the Art with more structure and passion and began to work my way up through the syllabus.

Training with this organisation is where I met Sam Wood and when she moved to open another club I moved with her. I then began my Instructor Training through Cobra Martial Arts Association's Martial Arts Instructor UK programme

In October 2008 I passed my Black Belt 1st degree and in December 2008 I qualified as a level 1 instructor.

Alongside the kickboxing my own personal development includes training in Self Defence, with Instructor Ian Harrison and Kali (stick combat) training with Sifu John Read.   

Along with Sam, I attend as many courses and seminars as possible and have had the honour of training with Dave Turton; founder of the Self Defence Federation, Andrew Morrell; founder of Cobra Martial Arts Association, Jason Dorn of Paragon Martial Arts and Chris Crudelli (Mind, Body and Kick Ass moves).

I also hold an Enhanced CRB (police check), St Johns First Aid and am also a qualified Referee for both Semi-Contact and Light Continuous tournaments.
