Hi everyone, my name is Ian Ratcliffe from Brisbane Australia.

Martial Arts have been a significant part of my life for over 40 years now.

My journey started with studying Shotokan in the United Kingdom.

I have had the opportunities to train and compete throughout the U.K. Latvia and Russia whilst training with notable instructors such as Lee Smith, Masao Kawasoe, Kanazawa, and Enoeda sensei's.

I am currently studying American Kenpo under Tony Perez who introduced me to the Paxtial Arts.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to be accept as an Ambassador Initiate and look forward to being part of such a positive movement for peace.
