Iain holds the rank of 7th Dan with the British Combat Association (one of the world’s leading groups for close-quarter combat, self-protection and practical martial arts), the British Combat Karate Association, and the English Karate Federation.

One of the leading exponents of applied Karate, Iain has written several critically acclaimed books on the practical application of traditional martial arts. He is well known for his work on the pragmatic use of the techniques and concepts recorded in the traditional Kata. Iain’s seminars, books, DVDs and articles have proved very popular with those groups and individuals who wish to practise their arts as the pragmatic systems they were initially intended to be.
