martial arts training started in an art called Tukido. I trained in Tukido for over ten years. However I wanted to
broaden my knowledge so I also studied Jujitsu, various styles of Karate, Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Self Defence
systems, Tai Chi etc... I enjoyed training in each one of them, but I always felt that there was something missing.
That's when I came across a man called Grandmaster George Dillman and the real secrets of the martial arts
started to become clear to me.
Grandmaster Dillman is the world's leading authority in pressure point combat (Kyusho-Jitsu). For more
information on Grandmaster Dillman please click HERE!
I started to buy all Grandmaster Dillman's books and videos in order to learn as much about Kyusho-Jitsu as
possible. I would also travel to the UK to attend Master Leon Jay's seminars, since Master Jay was teaching
Dillman's method of pressure point fighting along side his own Small Circle Jujitsu. It was while attending one of
these seminars that I met Grandmaster Paul Bowman, 8th Dan.
Grandmaster Bowman was teaching Kyusho-Jitsu, the Dillman method of pressure point fighting, at the seminar.
The techniques he was teaching just left everyone at the seminar speechless. The amount of pain he can inflict
on someone with virtually no effort has to be felt to be believed and his pressure point knockouts are just amazing.
Grandmaster Bowman is the official DKI (Dillman Karate International) representative for the UK and is one of the
world's highest ranking Kyusho-Jitsu instructors. For more information on Grandmaster Bowman please click

After that seminar I new that Grandmaster Bowman had the martial arts Knowledge that I had been searching for.
I travel over to London to train privately with Grandmaster Bowman every month and have been doing so for a
number of years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Grandmaster Bowman for everything he has taught
me and that, if it were not for him, I would not be where I am today. He is truly a great instructor and friend.

4th Dan Ryukyu Kempo

4th Dan Shotokan Karate
2nd Dan Kickboxing

also give you the ability to defend yourself, family or friends, should the need ever arise.
cademy so that I can pass on all the different aspects of the martial arts that I have learned.
