FOUNDER
Frank was introduced
to health & fitness at an
early age when the whole family used to go
running and training together, from the age
of just seven, led
by his father - a cross country
runner for the RAF. After a boyhood
filled with
wrestling, football and wanting to be a stuntman,
his
first introduction to martial arts came with
the fencing foil and
kickboxing, closely followed
by judo at
college.
With his
kittens Taz & Frazzel

A family move 'up north'
introduced Frank to Karate, which he studied for over 10 years, along with other
martial arts. In 1991 he opened what was possibly the UK's first true multi
style martial arts training centre, hosting over 10 different martial
disciplines under one roof. At this time he also formed his own style of
martial arts called Tobu Jiyu Jutsu - or Fly Free
Art (art without constraints) which is the basis for Urban Combat.
Tai Chi Training in Hong Kong
An introduction
to yoga and nutritional studies
were added to his list of passions and
took his
understanding of health & fitness even further.
From
fitness yoga he progressed to Ashtanga
yoga, a dynamic and flowing form,
and later he
took his exams to become a qualified yoga
teacher.
Practicing Chi Gong 
The blending together
of all these elements along with meditation and Chi Gong has led to the
formation of a truely holistic system which he has called Holistic Body Training
.
With Grand Master Choy Shun
Tin
Always looking to improve,
Frank took a
'working holiday' early in 2007 to Hong
Kong, after
securing a letter of
recomendation from his Sifu William Lai,
where he was honoured to train with
Grand Master Choy Shun Tin, the
worlds
leading Wing Chun master.
Practicing yoga in Sheffield
(Wing Chun is a Martial
Art developed by a female monk from the famous Shaolin Temple, that
utilises the body's alignment and sensitivity to overcome
the opponents force &
balance, - to redirect the incoming attack - using skill to overcome
strength).
Sticking hands with Sifu William Lai
A busy schedule now sees
Frank teaching Yoga on the Beach weekdays,
Holistic Body Toning, Self Defence Courses, Urban Combat, and Holistic
Body Weight Training as well as being a personal trainer
and taking 1 to 1
sessions. A Holistic Body Trainer's Training course is also comming soon. He
would also like to thank Ade, Adrian, Andy and Erika for all their help.
