Business Owner

Sifu Frank A. (Business Owner)

The Chief Instructor and Founder Sifu Frank Bowen who holds a 6th Degree Black Belt. Franks background was originally in boxing and judo. Being a keen sportsman he also represented his county in Rugby. He then took up Shaolin Kung Fu in the Bruce Lee era. After many years working in the security industry he found that many of the Kung Fu moves did not always work in some of the most testing of situations.Frank decided a more rounded system was needed and discovered that the combination of Muay Thai/Kickboxing and Jiujitsu seemed to make up part of the puzzle and from there the journey began. After many years of training six days a week in various arts and competing in as many competitions as possible, winning the British Title along the way, the style 'Thai-Kick-Jitsu' was formed.
