Grimsby Kaze Arashi Ryu

Most people see me as a martial arts instructor.

They see me teaching adult classes, coaching students, encouraging children, and helping people become the best versions of themselves.

What many don’t see is that I wear two very different hats every single day.

The first is as a senior instructor and follower of a small Japanese family tradition. My responsibility is to honour the teachings passed down to me by my Sensei, preserve the values and principles of Kaze Arashi Ryu, and ensure those teachings continue into the next generation. That’s why we don’t just teach techniques to our children and juniors—we teach the ethos, the respect, the discipline, the perseverance, and the traditions that sit behind them.

The second hat is that of a business owner.

Maintenance, finances, insurance, health and safety, staffing, planning, marketing, paperwork, building management, and making sure everything is in place so our members have a safe, professional environment to train in.

Sometimes those two roles work hand in hand. Sometimes they pull in different directions.

As a leader, there are occasions when you have to make decisions that not everyone agrees with. That’s part of the responsibility. You have to stand by your values, do what you believe is right for the academy, the students, and the future of the organisation, even when those decisions are difficult.

Being a martial artist is about far more than punches, kicks, throws, or belts.

It’s about leadership.
It’s about responsibility.
It’s about preserving tradition.
It’s about serving others.
It’s about having the courage to make difficult decisions when necessary.

The truth is, you’re never really “off duty” as a martial artist. The lessons, values, and responsibilities follow you everywhere.

Despite the challenges, the long days, and the weight of responsibility, I can honestly say that I absolutely love what I do.

I am still not the finished article but I genuinely believe this is what I was put on this earth to do.

And for everyone who trusts me, my team, our instructors, and our academy to be part of their journey—thank you. It is a privilege I never take for granted 🙏

𝗞𝗔𝗭𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗜 𝗥𝗬𝗨 (風嵐流), translating to “W𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹,” is a martial arts tradition that integrates both armed and unarmed combat techniques. While it presents itself as rooted in classical Japanese martial arts.
