David now 52 has been involved in martial arts since he was 9 years old.
David also runs the Disability Martial Arts Association, the first martial arts charity. They have set up a data base of Martial Arts Academy’s School’s and Club’s in the U.K. that will teach people with all types of disabilities and their families. When people phone them they will then be able to give them a telephone number of the said organisation. David said they are trying to help people with all types of disabilities into martial arts to help them get fit, and lead a better way of life.
