Jake has had an interest in contact sports since the young age of 10.

 Finding his feet in rugby, Jake would later be introduced to Martial Arts where he would go on to become a blue belt in BJJ Gym as a fighter.

 Jake's message to those thinking of trying out Bulldog Gym or any form of Martial Arts is that is a great way to build a confidence in an individual and can instill great disciple for future endeavours.

“Martial arts is a way of life, a journey to discover your true self, no matter how long it takes. You can try to take the easy road but once pressure comes the holes start to be revealed. So listen to your coach and train hard!“

 I came to bulldog gym in 2002 . I lacked a lot of confidence and drive growing up and wanted to change that. I stayed learning under Stuart for 5 years and 4 fights.

 Fast forward to now, l am a high level purple belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu and have had fights in mma, bjj Kickboxing, K1 and FTR. I also had the privilege of being a full time training partner with former UFC light heavyweight fighter James Tehuna on 2 occasions, both of which he was victorious. I am also a cert IV fitness instructor.
