Joel started training in 2001 at the age of 10 years. One of the first to train in our Kidz Karate Program as it was in the early stages back then. He was excited to learn about all of the cool things that he had seen in movies and games etc. suffice to say, the kids program deliver and he has gone on the become the lead kids instructor at Southern Cross.
He completed a traineeship within our organisation in 2006 and has been teaching for more than 12 years. He has completed 2 years of a degree in education and decided that the school based education system did not suit his passion for teaching. Teaching Martial Arts to children however does, and he is in charge of the day to day running of our Junior Dragons and Red Dragons Programs. His experience in competition includes KUDO (Japanese gi MMA), Freestyle martial arts tournaments and full contact competitions. He also has experience working casually in the security and hospitality industry.
