Luke has been a life long sports enthusiast. Spent most of his youth dedicated to football and karate which culminated in gaining a black belt and playing football to a high level and gaining a scholarship to Lee university in Tennessee, USA. He captained his team for three years and graduated with a degree in physical education.

In 2013 he returned home to England to start coaching in both karate and Physical Education in schools. Bringing his passion home has led to the development of our own UKA physical education syllabus and grading system. As well as coaching PE and karate in schools Luke mentors other coaches from the community and provides work experience placements every year for local pupils and young adults.
