1.
What's your current projects?
i
have completed volume 4 of 5 volumes of my judo counters
and combinations, and feb 2017 saw the publication
of safe and effective methods of tackling, we hope
this will change the way athletes tackle one another
and learn the new methods.
2.
How is your rehab going?
this is a great time, i have never felt better and
what was looking to be life change by way of ending
many of my general life experiences such as walking
riding bikes teaching kids even simple every day shopping
was so hard is now back to normal.
3.
What can you tell us about your recent stem cell operation?
stem
cell well i can say this, do your searching before
you decide to have any knee osteotomy or knee replacement.
mid 2015 i sustained a fall, causing damage to the
r knee meniscus all but sheered away, i was in great
pain not been able to walk for more than 10min before
stopping not able to walk stairs go surfing ride my
bike everything was effected personally and professionally,
its was over, i had spoken to 3 surgeons in Sydney
and Queensland, all of who gave me the home hit,..
total knee replacement, i was gutted so depressed
withdrawn,.. so i started to view the web on science,
Fransisco had been doing stem cell treatment on athletes
and general public for over 35yrs, then i small light
came on,. i have a chance, i had several MRI and Xrays
all showed severe damage and osteoarthritis eating
away my joint. so after visiting a specialist in Brisbane
i decided to visits a regenex at Napean private hospital
for possible stem cell treatment 1 if i qualify 2
what chances do i have. so early 2016 i seen the stem
cell specialist and yes i qualified so know i have
hope. paid the 10k booked in march 16th they drilled
both my hip bones and drew out bone marrow (its on
my you-tube page 15min into the filming) after 48hrs
i had no pain in the back or leg by day 4 i could
walk up and down stairs, by day 12 i was able to cross
my legs and not have any pain. by 17th day april7th
all come to an end when a lady drove through an intersection
side swiping my car smashing my knee causing more
damage.. my partner was braced by me i took the full
impact so she would be ok, that was the end of the
stem cell treatment....... no just kidding NRMA were
forced to pay for the treatment 16month later july28th
2017,.. we have reordered much of the rehab, and i
can say stemcell has changed my life for the better
the rehab has been insane at just how quick i have
recovered on every level well recommended anyone who
seen me over the past 2yrs would tell you im finished
moving like an 70yr old, NOT ANY MORE,.. i will be
back better.
4.
What do you consider your highlights of the year so
far, as well as your overall life and career highlights?
highlight of the year well being able to lead a normal
life once again something so simple was taken from
me ,. ive been given another chance...:) overall life
the birth on my beautiful baby in fact i didnt know
who ed sheron was until the birth strangely in the
delivery room they had his songs playing 2 in-particular
photograph and thinking out loud,. both of these were
playing as the head was coming out and holding the
baby and now when ever thinking out loud is playing
the baby will stop crying and listen to the song,...
bubs is almost 1 and still stops to watch the song
on TV... very strange but for filling,..... and career
wise well i have completed my masters in terrorism
and security studies, with this being selected to
present my maters paper at the world security conference
to be held in Dhabi this would have been a big life
change, sadly i was withdrawn 12hrs before due to
leave the country, very sad but it gave me drive to
complete several other qualification within the terrorism
/ security, paper is attached.

years ago were a clash between two peoples, two cultures,
two systems of government and two continents. The
first clash between East and West.” - Dr. Michael
Scott (Cambridge and Bristol Universities). The first
democracy in the world spawned the Greco-Persian Wars
2,500 years ago that shaped most of the world today,
particularly our politics, but it also gave us some
of the most iconic moments and curious mysteries in
history...a time when history really did become legend.
