“Jeffrey has spent a large part of his life travelling across the globe, teaching all from private clubs, public bodies, to full military forces and numerous police units all which are well documented.

“Jeffrey has also been the only person ever from Ireland to have been the subject of major Martial Arts magazines from England to America with his first appearance in Fighter magazine in 1978 with more than thirty major articles written about him.

“Currently he is also the subject of a television documentary being produced which has followed him deep into the Jungles of Borneo to the Japanese Centre in Ballymoney.

“Jeffrey has just recently returned from near the North Pole where he was teaching a group of doctors and indigenous Sami people of Norway. Jeffrey had also the unique opportunity to visit the world famous Ice Hotel.”
