My villain origin arc starts right starts back in what historians call the day.

When I was at a school up North. And things used to get a shall we say a bit rough at times.

Got beat on more times than I can remember.

When I was older things got a lot better.

But like many young men my age give us a bit cheap lager and sense of misplaced sense of bravado...

...yeah you know where this is going don't you?

And while I took some martial arts classes, I never truly felt like I could handle it. If you get what I mean?

Like I never felt truly confident.

Did I have it in me were it to really kick off?

It's like having that itch you can't scratch.

Anyways finally it reached point on a night out in Bromley when I was threatened with a knife in a kebab shop.

I thought you know what? It's time to do something.

Got on Google and found my (who eventually turned out to become my good friend and mentor) Darren Selley's class in Bromley.

I enjoyed the classes. Especially the aggressive and realistic training scenario training.

Also liked the system combined a number of martial arts for everyday situations.

Eventually I progressed onto being an instructor.

Almost happened by accident really. I think I just asked Ron and few others who said I should do it.

They said yes. And so here I'am. A fully fledged instructor.

My hobbies include long scrolls down my phone, being tired all day, having the occasional cup of coffee, binge watching the Wire and watching final score in the pub.

Finally, I'd say Urban Krav Maga has given me a way to give something back.

Something back to good people.

And not just the good people who have used what I've taught them in real life. But also the ones who have gained something positive from what I teach beyond the realms of self-defence.

The ones who have used it to gain back their confidence, walk just that little bit taller after a class, learned something new and applied it to their jobs, have improved themselves in some way after consistently training, made more money or just got laid for often (yes someone actually said this to me).

Alright that's it.
