Sensei Gibson has been training since the age of 3 years old. He is trained by his father, the chief Instructor of SAMA Organisation Hanshi Gibson whom he admits is his role model within martial arts and someone who he has great admiration and respect for. Sensei is lucky enough to be able to train with Hanshi every day and believes you should lead by example so puts 100% into his training. Sensei has trained in Japan, competed in many karate tournaments all over Britain and is undefeated in 7 full contact kickboxing fights and will be fighting in the ring again soon.
