Coach Morné Swanepoel
I started training in the Martial Arts in 1976 as a 4 year old Amateur Wrestler. The website does injustice with regards to giving a true reflection on my Martial Arts journey. I hope i am able to reflect as much as possible on an amazing life spent in the Combat Arts.
I am very thankful for the opportunities i was given to pursue my passion and my dream as a Martial Artist. A book has many resources and i am very fortunate to be able to meet, learn and train with some of the best fighters, coaches and Martial Artists in the world. I look forward continuing living the Warriors Way and to study and train the combat arts until the day i die.
