Kris began his training in Devon, where he honed his skills under the guidance of Peter Hill in Traditional Wado Ryu, ultimately earning his 3 dan black belt. During this time, he also discovered Kickboxing and Shorin Ryu Karate, incorporating these disciplines into his training regimen. His dedication paid off in 2004 when he achieved his 1st dan in both Kickboxing and Shorin Ryu Karate, showcasing his commitment to martial arts. Kris's journey reflects a passion for continuous learning and mastery in various martial arts forms.
Kris's journey in martial arts continued when he returned to Oxford, where he honed his skills and eventually took on the role of instructor. In 2021, motivated by a desire to give back, he established the Wado Sport Karate Academy in 2022, proudly earning his 4th dan black belt with the English Karate Organisation that same year. By 2024, seeking a new direction, Kris transitioned from the E.K.O to create the Wado Kai Sport Karate Association (W.K.S.K.A). The W.K.S.K.A is dedicated to delivering quality martial arts training, blending traditional Wado Ryu with Kickboxing, and ensuring that learning 'Sport Karate' is a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for students of all levels.
