Glyn began training in the Martial Arts as a
youngster in the mid seventies under the
tutelage of his father Roy Jones, in the Arts of
Japanese Judo & Ju Jutsu. A series of
fortunate local meetings and events also
allowed Glyn to be accepted as one of the few
students of the veteran Bill Bowen.
Glyn began training in Karate in 1981 under the
well renowned and no nonsense Karate teacher
Sensei Cyril Cummins of The Japan Karate
Association, going on to achieve his Shodan in
Karate in 1988.
Relocation gave Glyn the opportunity to explore
and experience a vast variety of Karate Dojos,
Styles and Teachers in the U.K.
One of his most influential early teachers over a
number of years was Slater Williams Sensei a
Senior Student of Taiji Kase Sensei. Williams
Sensei is a Karate teacher that Glyn regularly
speaks of as a formidable exponent of Karate. It
was this training that first presented elements of
Okinawan Ti to Glyns attention, together with an
un bias towards Karate Styles, for a number of
years training in both the Shotokan & Goju Ryu
styles of Karate.
