Alan took up Jiu Jitsu in 2002. Prior to joining he studied Kung Fu both in

Dublin City University and in Sydney Australia. His avid interest in travel

has taken him trekking over 5 of the 7 contents of the world.

"I am delighted to have taken up such a deeply established art. Since

joining the club, I have found my fitness and co-ordination have increased.

I am more aware of my surroundings. The friendly and down to earth

atmosphere keeps me challenged and inspired to progress to ever greater

levels."

Alan holds a BEng in Telecommunications and actively practices yoga.
