I got to know Tony through doing Karate at Rushden Sports Centre many years ago. We were school kids, mad for Martial Arts and anything Bruce Lee ! Bruce Lee developed the Art of Jeet Kune Do. Aided by a close friend and training partner Dan Inosanto. Dan Inosanto came to the UK to run training/demonstration sessions. Tony and I eagerly attended. I had the "inch punch!" demonstrated on me by the man himself Dan Inosanto…! I felt Tony was maybe a little jealous of that.. We got our books signed and came home, buzzing with new ideas of how to kick hell out of each other!! 

I will always remember that day. And I will always remember Tony. RIP mate.
