Mr Adam Winkler (3rd Degree Black Belt)
Mr Winkler has twenty years experience of martial arts.
Mr Winkler studied under Mr Norman Langton, Black Belt Aikido
Instructor. He spent three years training techniques and sparring ideas. What originally was intended as a fitness and confidence idea became an important aspect of Mr Winklers life where he then chose to dedicate himself to the art of Kenpo.
In 1990 Mr Winkler joined the Kenpo Karate club based at St George’s, University of London.. This was to be a difficult period
following the sudden death of Master Ed Parker. However,
training under instructors Diane Wheeler, Martin Wheeler and
Mark Whaldron, Mr Winkler studied hard to grasp the concepts of
the Kenpo system and the theory that develops through general progressionof the ranks.
2000 - Mr Winkler began to study with the British Self Defence
Governing Body. It was very different to martial arts. The course
involved the study of confrontation, environment, verbal and
non-verbal communication. Mr Winkler developed courses for women
to attend regarding personal safety. He is currently studying the
Advanced Certificate Module and details are available on this
site regarding class information. The same year Mr Winkler attended
the International Kenpo Karate Association Tournament in
Madrid undertaking a grading for 1st Dan Black Belt level
under a panel of ten senior Kenpo members from around the
world. Holland in 2006, Mr Winkler is awarded 3rd Degree in Kenpo Karate. Click here to download CV.
