Together with his son and daughter they moved through the grades until only Tony was left to fly the family flag.
On achieving his black belt he began assisting his instructor and then was asked to instruct the class in Tairua before moving up to Whitianga, in 2014, and starting a class up there.
 

At the end of 2017 Tony graded up to 3rd Degree Black Belt.
Apart from his own personal growth Tony’s driving force is seeing the benefits attained by students, especially the growth in self-confidence.

 

Tony’s goal is to one day be a Master.
