Ian Davies, Business Development
I had my first Karate class in a high school gymnasium when I was eight. When I was eighteen I traveled to Japan and trained for a year. I returned and competed at the national level in Shito-Ryu Karate. I am a lifelong student of martial arts. In 1999 I was awarded my 1st degree black belt. I bring that unique experience and understanding to my writing. I have profound respect and admiration for combat sports athletes. Mixed Martial Arts is a sport where losing isn’t just losing; it is a sport where you will bear the scars of those losses, sometimes for years. It is a sport that requires an immeasurable amount of resolve and conviction. And I Love it |

He’s also trained at both HUF Boxing, and Elite Training Centre in Mississauga, and currently at Tapout Burlington.
