In Greg's time he has been fortunate to train under, with, and alongside some of the very best masters in the world. The most major martial arts influence in his life is Kyoshi 9th Dan Karate Master, Sensei Mark Greville (pictured below). Greg came to train under Sensei Greville in the late 1980's. Greg was immediately amazed by his Sensei's depth of knowledge and abilities. Greg worked hard to become accepted as a private student, training daily to build and develop his own skills. Over twenty five years later and the pair are still training together. The Killcare Shorin Ryu Shorinkan Karate School is officially the sister school of the Northern Beaches Collaroy Dojo and part of the Okinawan Martial Arts Body in Okinawa under 10th Dan Hanshi Shugoro Nakazato.
