Grandmaster Dave has ran his own martial arts schools for many years, and has produced number of fine students, who now run their own schools (Myself being one). He has also trained a number of UK Police Officers in ‘Close Range Combat’ and has chaperoned many wealthy business people to ensure their safety.

*On January 2018 Grandmaster Dave Rowe passed away at the age of 66. He will be sorely be missed by the Martial Arts world, and some of my students who had the fortune to train with him. I will miss my friend, teacher, mentor and my sensei R.I.P.
