You could say I was born to be on the path of Martial Arts. It is in my blood, but it\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0end up turning out how I thought it would.<\/p>\n
For as long as I can remember, Kickboxing has been a part of my life and my Dad\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Back when I started Martial Arts around 5 years old, I didn\u2019t think it would transpire to having such a profound effect on my life.<\/p>\n
But as time went on, I learnt that Martial Arts is much deeper than just the physical element. It is inherently a spiritual discipline focused on cultivating the best members of society through the search for physical, mental, and spiritual mastery.<\/p>\n
In Eastern philosophy, this is considered, \u2018The Way\u2019 or\u00a0The\u00a0\u2019Tao\u2019. That is, the way one should live ‘according to the natural order of the universe’.<\/p>\n
Martial Arts in simple terms means, \u2018The Art of War\u2019, like the book from Sun Tzu.<\/p>\n
Of course, nowadays, the war is not necessarily physical, but more spiritual. <\/strong><\/p>\n The kind of warfare surrounding us is a battle for the dominion of our spiritual state.<\/p>\n After taking a while to understand this, it changed my stance on Martial Arts as a whole.<\/p>\n Being the son of the Founder of a Martial Arts School, there were always high hopes for me to be good.<\/p>\n For the most part, I tried my best to live up to those expectations, but at such a young age, I didn\u2019t fully\u00a0realise\u00a0what it meant.<\/p>\n My Dad \u2013 Dave Lee, founded and run the successful Warlords Kickboxing Academy in Slough, starting in the 1980s. I grew up watching my Dad train,\u00a0and was eager to start training with him at 4 years old.<\/p>\n From day one, it was a very natural way for me to become educated and experienced in the arts of the body and the mind.\u00a0It was the first thing I became ambitious about.<\/p>\n I started competing at 6 years old and fought\u00a0sporadically\u00a0until my early 20s. I couldn\u2019t think of anything more exciting to do, than to have the ability to master myself and someone else in adrenaline fueled combat.<\/p>\n But what started as just an interest, then an ambition, soon became an obsession.<\/p>\n To understand this, you\u00a0have to\u00a0take a stroll back in time to what \u2018Old School\u2019 Martial Arts was like. My Dad operated what most would consider an old school approach to Martial Arts training.<\/p>\n In simple terms, that was turn up, work hard, or work harder if it wasn\u2019t working for you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n For a young boy like myself when I started, that meant picking things up quickly, so I didn\u2019t get hurt. At 6 years old, and attempting to learn fast, there weren\u2019t Kids Classes as we have now, it was, \u2018you go with whoever, and adapt quickly\u2019.<\/p>\n For the most part, that meant Full Contact Sparring with men before I was ready. And that meant, I took a lot of beatings before I could return the\u00a0favour.<\/p>\n As most kids who start learning Martial Arts, I trained a little to begin with, but before 10 years old, that turned into training every day, whether it be at the Dojo, or at home. I finally felt that I could keep up, and even be a challenge for the very students who could beat me up not long ago.<\/p>\n This kind of pressure, although many would think it is tantamount to child abuse nowadays, made me the fastest, strongest, and best Martial Artist I could be.<\/p>\n I felt invincible and thought I could take on anyone who was in my way.<\/p>\n Growing up, much of my time was spent contemplating what I had learnt in Martial Arts classes, rather than school classes. I always took a keen interest into learning in all forms, but there was something about school, that I figured didn\u2019t fulfil my thirst for knowledge.<\/p>\n I was the inquisitive child who asked one too many questions, especially the ones that my parents and\u00a0school teachers\u00a0couldn\u2019t answer. Every time I pushed for direct answers, I finally received the answer \u2018I don\u2019t know.\u2019<\/p>\n I naturally began searching for answers to life\u2019s questions outside of school, and home.<\/strong><\/p>\n My search for answers put me in contact with knowledgeable\u00a0and\u00a0thoughtful teachers.<\/p>\n The insightful lessons I\u2019ve learnt from them along the way are nothing short of\u00a0exceptional, and\u00a0have formed the foundation to how I live my life to this day and beyond.<\/p>\n Dedicating a large amount of time to one Martial Art made me aware of what it takes to remain focused, see something through, and understand how to evolve once I have learnt the raw basics of a discipline.<\/p>\n So, after pouring all my energy into Kickboxing, I managed to achieve my 1st Dan Black Belt at a young age.<\/p>\n But once I got to grips with\u00a0my foundations, I wanted to explore further.<\/p>\n I started reflecting on learning from different styles and teachers now that I was ready. Luckily, my Dad was forward-thinking, and already preached\u00a0the idea that we must take the best of each style, and discard what is not useful.<\/p>\n We not only learned Kickboxing,\u00a0but we\u00a0also\u00a0studied\u00a0locks, throws, submissions, and even\u00a0weapons like Nunchaku,\u00a0Bo\u00a0Staff,\u00a0Eskrima, and even Knife\u00a0Defence.<\/p>\n On top of this, we learnt from other Martial Arts my Dad had studied\u00a0including Ju-Jitsu, Karate,\u00a0Kung Fu,\u00a0Boxing,\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n Even when I started Martial Arts, it was unusual for practitioners to mix styles and techniques together, and back when my Dad started, it was either Karate or Kung Fu that was mostly available in the 1970s.<\/p>\n It was\u00a0time to fill some gaps in my game and arsenal.<\/p>\n So, along the way, I studied a range of Martial Arts and related disciplines, I branched out and learnt a huge amount from other Martial Arts including \u2013 Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and MMA.<\/p>\n This approach to learning not only made me a better student, but also a better competitor, coach, and mentor to those who I have helped with their goals since.<\/p>\n In line with my pursuit for more, I\u00a0met\u00a0my soon to be Yoga teacher whilst I was training one day in class. She happened to be teaching in the same facility we were in, and eventually, we got talking. She wanted to learn Kickboxing\u00a0from my Dad, and I wanted to learn Yoga.<\/p>\n I felt I had come close to mastering the physical elements of my body, but I knew there was a lot more to uncover.<\/p>\n I began learning Yoga at 16, hoping to develop my mind and body in complementary ways.<\/p>\n Kiran was not your typical Western Yoga teacher, she had her roots firmly in India, where she learnt from her family origins, and kept her practice as pure as her roots.<\/p>\n She always emphasised that Yoga was intended to train the body, so it can endure long periods of meditation, rather than just doing fashionable poses for the sake of it.<\/p>\n At the time, I was searching for guidance on how I can better understand my mind, my body, and my place in this world, and the meditative side of Yoga fulfilled that search.<\/p>\n I was taught various breathing exercises and meditative techniques which boosted every area of my life, and ultimately, taught me how to be more present in any given situation.<\/p>\n Although I have moved away from the physical aspects, I still find the internal lessons effective.<\/p>\n Looking back, the internal lessons I learnt from Kiran and my Yoga practice influenced the pivotal moment in my education, where I had to make an immediate decision.<\/p>\n As I prepared for my freedom from traditional schooling, at the last call, I changed from studying Osteopathy to Philosophy, and it\u2019s safe to say I\u2019m very glad I did!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what happened…<\/p>\n All throughout College, all I wanted to do was train Martial Arts,\u00a0and keep\u00a0building upon my skills and knowledge, rather than study. But I stayed with it, as it was expected of me.<\/p>\n From a practical standpoint, Osteopathy sounded great, I virtually had a career made for me as soon as I finished University. But I eventually\u00a0realised\u00a0I wanted some scope for freedom, should I have changed my mind about what I wanted.<\/p>\n As my distaste for studying grew less and less, I began to fall in love with learning about wisdom, which is Philosophy.<\/p>\n For this\u00a0realisation, I have my\u00a0Philosophy teacher Carl Mandy, and my\u00a0Wing Chun\u00a0Sifu\u00a0(teacher) Sam Catlin,\u00a0to thank.<\/p>\n Sam was an unassuming teacher of Accounting at my College, and we used to exchange pleasantries in the gym at lunch breaks.<\/p>\n Until one day, instead of his usual strength training routine, he was practicing some Martial Arts techniques, which I\u00a0realised\u00a0were Wing Chun. Having heard from friends that he was a secret ninja, I approached him and asked if he\u2019d consider teaching me.<\/p>\n At first, he hesitated, and didn\u2019t want to teach anyone.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n But after we exchanged some history,\u00a0and he understood my intentions, he accepted.<\/p>\n We ended up training every day for at least one hour. Sam, whilst\u00a0on his lunch break, and me instead of studying for College classes, I studied some more Martial Arts.<\/p>\n Sam patiently bridged the gap between Martial Arts and Philosophy for me\u00a0in a new way.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n When teaching anything physical, he was always able to provide insights into relaying a mental\u00a0equivalent, and\u00a0relate it to life too.<\/p>\n And although Sam is\u00a0many\u00a0years my elder, and not of the biggest stature, he\u2019s still able to dismantle me in seconds without hesitation.<\/p>\n As his wisdom grows, so does his style. On the rare occasions I get to meet with him now, he reinvents his style and thus himself.<\/p>\n At this point,\u00a0Philosophy now became a passion pursuit, and it felt just like when I was a kid, when I knew nothing about Martial Arts.<\/p>\n I was starting from scratch again, full of ignorance, but willing to learn.<\/p>\n The only issue I came across with studying Philosophy was other people. Family wondered and pondered, \u201cBut what can you do with Philosophy?\u201d, or… \u201cWhat job can you get with a Philosophy Degree?\u201d.<\/p>\n To which I responded, \u201cI can do anything I want with it\u201d.<\/p>\n The power of Philosophy is that it gives us as humans deep insight into who we really are, what we are here to do, and why we are here.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I knew that actively studying the inner workings of my own mind, and the greatest minds of human history would have a massive impact on my life forever. I never felt limited by other people\u2019s opinions, thoughts, or judgements, and knew this was the subject for me to study.<\/p>\n My professors and lecturers helped me to gauge my place in the world, and how to function within it, all without directly telling me how to live.<\/p>\n I remember my Philosophy professor Dr. Iain Grant, sitting with me to discuss my fighting ambitions after my last competitive fight.<\/p>\n In\u00a0just\u00a0minutes, he was able to provide deep insight into the nature of Martial Arts, without ever practicing Martial Arts himself.<\/p>\n When speaking with him, what I was really searching for was validation that me committing to fighting was \u2018the right thing to do\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n From memory, he quoted various texts from centuries ago, which highlighted the need and passion of fighting and warfare from a moral perspective.<\/p>\n His message was always to focus on what sits right for you rationally and emotionally, by\u00a0emphasising\u00a0the importance of using Philosophy as a tool to live your life as successfully as possible.<\/p>\n In doing so, he would repeat the idea that:<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s not what you think, it\u2019s how you think\u2019.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n But from all of life\u2019s learnings, studying Philosophy\u00a0and Martial Arts throughout,\u00a0has given me ultimate control of my mind, and the direction of my life.<\/p>\n My plan was to turn professional in Kickboxing after University.<\/p>\n After many years of hard sparring since I was a kid, I was accumulating a fair amount of brain damage, had no money to pay bills, and lived a life filled with the monotony of training all day every day.<\/p>\n All just so I could win and bolster my ego through the defeat of another.<\/p>\n With my new insights, it all began to make less and less sense.<\/p>\n I remember knocking out someone so hard in sparring, that before they fell, they did what I can only describe as a Drunken Master dance from the old Kung Fu classic films.<\/strong><\/p>\n After this, I\u00a0realised\u00a0I don\u2019t want to inflict this kind of pain and damage on someone else again, let alone on myself.<\/p>\n Shortly after; after more injuries, insights, and incidents, I had to be honest with myself, and\u00a0realise\u00a0that I outgrew this path. Even then, I still wouldn\u2019t admit it to myself, due to the fear of not knowing what my life purpose would be, if it was not fighting.<\/p>\n Ultimately, me deciding to let go of the fighting path, and opening myself to other options gave me all the beautiful things I now have.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n But it didn\u2019t come easy or without a teething period.<\/p>\n When giving up what I thought was my life purpose, I knew I\u2019d be in for a hard time. Up until this time, I had one goal, and one thing to achieve, that was it.<\/p>\n Without this purpose, I felt lost, and lost the identity that I built my whole life around.<\/p>\n Ironically, I knew all about fighting. I knew when to attack, when to defend, when to move forward, and when to retreat. But I kept fighting with myself inside my own mind, when I shouldn\u2019t have. Instead of giving in to the signs and thoughts that were running havoc in my brain, I continued fighting until I couldn\u2019t anymore.<\/p>\n Eventually, this led to depression, anxiety, red raw eczema, and general ill-health settling in.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Long story short, a few years later, with a newfound purpose and path in\u00a0FitRoots, I can now feel the positive side of my health, for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n Creating this new path with\u00a0FitRoots\u00a0was exhausting, and even damaging to my health at first, and caused me to\u00a0realise\u00a0how little I knew about life, and especially about business.<\/p>\n Luckily, the lessons from Martial Arts and Philosophy have provided sound foundations as to how I conduct myself in this relatively new sphere, how to plan, and how to remain focused even in chaotic moments.<\/p>\n As I reflected on my journey so far, I\u00a0realised\u00a0that bringing together Martial Arts and Philosophy would be the creation of\u00a0FitRoots\u00a0and the next chapter.<\/p>\n But not straight away…<\/p>\n When I founded\u00a0FitRoots, for some reason, I decided I wanted to focus on 1-1 Personal Training, and never thought I would go back to my roots of teaching Martial Arts in a group setting, and with a focus on growing our Martial Arts School.<\/p>\n The first\u00a0three to\u00a0four years of\u00a0FitRoots\u00a0started out being totally dedicated to 1-1 Personal Training.\u00a0 Eventually, I became open to focusing on the Martial Arts School,\u00a0purely as a result of being able to help more people, in a more practical way.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been teaching since I was around 10 years old thanks to my\u00a0Dad, but\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0realise\u00a0this was something I could live my life for as an adult until recently. These foundations in Martial Arts, and especially in Kickboxing proved to be lifesaving and life threatening.<\/p>\n But now,\u00a0I have committed to the lifesaving side of Martial Arts, and I do what my Dad did for me, but for the next generation in society, by helping them transform their lives through the power of true Martial Arts.<\/p>\n Although I am grateful for what my Dad taught me, we didn\u2019t always see eye to eye. Growing up, a lot of tension and problems at home led to my parents divorcing. Martial Arts was the only way we bonded due to our differences.<\/p>\n For that reason, Martial Arts may have been the only reason we still talked to one another.<\/p>\n When\u00a0FitRoots Martial Arts School begun picking up, my Dad helped a lot through doing what he does best, teaching great classes.<\/p>\n It was at this time that I came across Yasmin,\u00a0my now girlfriend. We initially met through Martial Arts, as she wanted to learn a skill to compliment her other training.<\/p>\n Yasmin and I had similar frames of\u00a0mind, and\u00a0connected with each other instantly. Ultimately, we both had similar goals, we had these big dreams that were not fulfilled.<\/p>\n For Yasmin, it was the high-flying corporate career, and for me, it was the stardom of being the World Champion.<\/p>\n But neither\u00a0materialised.<\/p>\n It was only when we looked internally, did we both\u00a0realise\u00a0that was not what we genuinely wanted.<\/p>\n It was at this point that we found our purpose, and each other.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Oddly enough, throughout our whole lives until we met, we only ever lived a few roads away from each other at any point in time, even when we both moved to different areas. Now, we are focused on building our new path, and vision together with\u00a0FitRoots.<\/p>\n Some knew my Dad as a lifelong Martial Artist, others as a servant of Christ in his later years, and others as a Community Warden in Slough, Windsor, and Maidenhead.<\/p>\n Whichever path he encountered someone on, he made sure he made an impact.<\/p>\n I am indebted to my Dad for everything I do now.<\/p>\n He\u00a0kick\u00a0started my lifelong pursuit of physical, mental, and spiritual development by teaching me Martial Arts.<\/p>\n Martial Arts and his teachings were the most important lessons I studied when growing up. I would not be who I am today without this foundation in my life.<\/p>\n Witnessing my Dad\u2019s influence on people, taught me from very early on, that Martial Arts is much more than just fighting, or\u00a0self-defence.<\/p>\n It\u2019s how you feel, how you think, and how you act.<\/p>\n Before arriving to the UK and taking on his new life, my Dad and all the family are proud Sri Lankans. From the tasty food, to the warming culture, we have great memories of living a Sri Lankan upbringing in the heart of Slough.<\/p>\n With 6 brothers, and 2 sisters, my Dad\u2019s family\u00a0made an effort\u00a0to always be\u00a0together, and\u00a0get on each other\u2019s nerves.<\/p>\n This is what separates Martial Arts from other activities or sports. It\u2019s not just something you do, it\u2019s something you live.<\/p>\n It is deeply community based.<\/p>\n It brings people together by\u00a0channeling\u00a0energy in a positive direction.<\/p>\n But sometimes this energy can be misdirected, and I\u2019m very happy that my Dad welcomed a lot of young people\u00a0into\u00a0his Martial Arts School – Warlords Kickboxing Academy, through the lens of guiding, mentoring, and having a positive male role model in their lives.<\/p>\n Even in hosting his own competitions, teaching in schools, and around the community, this same message\u00a0ran\u00a0strong.<\/p>\n He imparted these teachings not just on myself, but on my brother, my cousins, and the rest of our family too.<\/p>\n He considered his students, and those he met as all part of his wider family, treating them all just as lovingly.<\/p>\n When\u00a0my dad\u00a0made the transition to focus on his religious\u00a0endeavours, as a young boy, I was initially against it.<\/p>\n But as the years went by, I witnessed how he transformed himself, and how he wanted to make amends.<\/p>\n He even travelled the world to bring communities\u00a0together, and\u00a0share his healing with them.<\/p>\n People have the capacity to change if they are willing. If this happens to you, please make sure you\u2019re open to this new dynamic in your relationships.<\/p>\n I decided to do my own part, and through my spiritual Ayahuasca journeys, I was able to forgive my Dad for all that went wrong growing up.<\/p>\n I am very happy that the last few years of our relationship were based on a genuine love for one another, and not hampered by guilt, anger, and shame.<\/p>\n He continued his training and teaching at\u00a0FitRoots\u00a0(my Martial Arts School) up until his death at 62 years old, and still managed to improve on his skill and Martial Arts style for over 48 years!<\/p>\n We will be doing Charity work in Sri Lanka to\u00a0honour\u00a0our ancestry and our Dad\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n Summing up, I can only hope to continue his legacy, and I hope to make him proud.<\/p>\n I am heartbroken and devastated, as are\u00a0all of\u00a0our family, including his dog Kume, the Akita\u2026<\/p>\n Now I am ready to\u00a0return with more energy, power, and discipline to fulfil our Mission and Vision.<\/p>\n And even though we may have looked at it through different lenses, the outcome is effectively the same – To bring happiness, love, and health to the\u00a0community as a whole.<\/p>\n If you knew my Dad, please do share your memories of him below, or feel free to message me privately.<\/p>\n I\u2019d love to know what impact he made on you.<\/p>\n We will also be running Charitable, and Community Based Martial Arts events in his name.<\/p>\n As well as making some big impact to the local communities in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n When the dust settles, we will get down to these events, and start to fulfil the Mission and Vision to bring the community together.<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to be a part of this, you knew my Dad, or you just want to donate, please do\u00a0here<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\nModern day warfare is spiritual warfare.<\/h3>\n
