Very proud and honoured to have been awarded the first ever Shadow Warrior PTI (Physical Training Instructor) badge by my Sensei, Brin Morgan, at the Shinobi Skills Camp this weekend.

I’m looking forward to working with him on building a core group of fitness instructors and training programmes for the SW dojos.

Ninpo-taijutsu philosophy has been a foundation of my development as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach, something I acknowledged in my Chartered Practitioner application.

It’s incredibly rewarding to reflect that back into the Shadow Warrior Ninja community and this is just the beginning of a new, methodological approach to fitness coaching and academia I am developing.

Another great weekend for the annual Shadow Warrior Cornwall Seminar.

This year we expanded on the theme of the Ninja Mind exploring the philosophy and spirituality of the Japanese Yamabushi, yet from the perspective of the warriors and bodyguards.

🏃‍♂️ Ultra Marathon Fundraising for K9’s 🐾

In June 2026 I’ll be taking on the Cornwall Classic Quarter, a 44-mile ultra marathon along the stunning South West Coast Path, from Lizard Point to Land’s End.

Trail running has always been a passion of mine, and was a key part in the concept of Foxcoat Functional Training and the setting up of the studio gym. So getting back into long-distance training feels like coming home. This time, though, I’m running for more than just a challenge.

I’m dedicating this race to support , a local Cornish charity that provides shelter, care, and new homes for dogs in need. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of training some of the founders and directors who are some of the kindest, passionate and dedicated people I know.

If you can, please help me make a difference. Every donation counts for the people who work tirelessly, and for the dogs whose lives are changed. 🐕💛

I’ll be sharing some of my training progress along the way.

I’m incredibly proud and honoured to have achieved Chartered Practitioner status in Activity and Health (MCIMSPA).

This recognition reflects my ongoing commitment to best practice as a personal fitness trainer and teacher of Japanese martial arts. It also acknowledges the creation of Foxcoat Studio and the impact it has had on the community. 

More specifically, I was recognised for my approach, which includes:

• Using storytelling as a critical methodology to build relationships across the lifecourse

• Developing holistic and inclusive training through adaptable and meaningful programmes

• Advocating for personal training and martial arts as forces for good in society

I’m now looking ahead with excitement to the next stage of my career. While continuing to grow and evolve Foxcoat Studio, I’m also delighted to announce a new project (The Political PT) that will further explore and promote my philosophical approach to personal training. I am working on this in collaboration with my colleague (and client) Professor of Sociology, Gayle Letherby. 

The Project includes:

• An education platform

• A forthcoming book

• Consultancy work

When you find a career you’re passionate about, work becomes a privilege. I’m grateful every day to be part of an industry that allows me to contribute meaningfully to others’ health and fitness journeys.

Huge thanks to CIMSPA (Chartered Institute for Sport and Physical Activity) and to my assessor; David () it was a pleasure presenting to you.

Opening the door to my first client on January 2, 2015, I never imagined that 10 years later, Foxcoat would be thriving and growing stronger than ever!

What an absolute privilege it has been to impact so many lives—providing a space where people can train in strength and fitness, explore martial arts, and focus on their health and well-being.

What truly makes Foxcoat special is the incredible, diverse community that has found, developed, or rekindled their connection to physical and mental health. The uniqueness and inclusivity of the private studio have created a space where everyone feels welcome. Every week, I’m lucky enough to meet fascinating people, share laughs, and guide them along their fitness journeys. In fact, more than half of my clients have trained with me for over five years—a testament to the client-centered approach that underpins my training methodology.

Foxcoat Studio also marked the beginning of the transformation of Bohl’s Yard into a vibrant hub of independent, creative businesses. Over the years, it’s been inspiring to see new businesses join, evolve, and shape Bohl’s Yard into a hub at the heart of Penryn’s independent business community.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re hosting a party at , and I’d love for you to join us! The amazing will provide food and drinks, and we’ll have music by the talented , who are not only Cornwall’s celebrated DJ party bringers, but also long-time Foxcoat clients (and members of Shadow Warrior Cornwall).

Details:
📅 When: January 11, 2025
⏰ Time:
• 5:00–6:30 PM: For Foxcoat Clients & Bohl’s Yard Residents
• 6:30–9:30 PM: Open to the Public
📍 Address: Bohl’s Yard, St. Thomas Street, Penryn
🎶 Music: From 7:00 PM

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I am eternally grateful and excited for what 2025 holds, as Foxcoat continues to grow and explore new avenues to make an even greater positive impact.

Had a great weekend survival training with my teacher and the Shadow Warrior on Aber in Snowdonia, along with two of my students. The weather was a bit wild (the second survival weekend I have done this year in a named storm) but all pulled together to make this an awesome event.

I had the privilege of teaching a couple of strength and movement classes using a modern interpretation of the traditional Yamabushi training. (Japanese mountain warrior monks)

Looking forward to the next one!

Had a great weekend hosting a high level training seminar, for my sensei, on Shadow Warrior principles of control in conflict zones.
