Embracing the belief that martial arts contribute significantly to physical, mental, and moral growth, Doug has diversified his training with cross-disciplinary exposure in Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Zen Do Kai, and Boxing.

Fully qualified and possessing an active Level 3 registration with Fitness Australia, along with a Blue Card and First Aid certification, Doug's expertise extends beyond martial arts.

His instructional prowess has made him a sought-after coach for clubs, individuals, and national/international champions, having served twice as a coach for the Australian national team.
