-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debbie Shine (client) Top qualities: Expert, High Integrity, Creative -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greta Reid (Student) “Gary is a professional martial arts instructor. His skills go beyond martial arts as he endevours to be as creative as possible. He listens to what I need and my children need in terms of training and end goals and works with us to make sure it has been achieved. I would recommend Gary's work and look forward to working with him for many years to come!” April 26, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amit Wasson (Former Student) “While I attended Herts Martial Arts I found Gary's straight forward, friendly and practical approach to Martial Arts to be very refreshing and effective. Gary, as well everyone else at the club for that matter, are friendly and just want to learn and improve. I attended both group and private lessons with Gary and both are a great way to get into Mixed Martal Arts. The private lessons were especially great, with Gary providing deep knowledge and a humble approach to teaching. Along with the flexible time table and ability to choose the classes you like, it was a great way to get into MMA or just focus on the style you enjoy the most.” April 26, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Nugent (Fellow JKD Instructor) “Gary is a top rated martial arts teacher and trainer, he strives to keep the standards high and continues to develop and improve his own teacher/trainer qualities. If you are serious about learning various martial arts or want to get kit I would highly recommend Gary. Gary is also available for seminars or private lessons of the highest quality. Andy Nugent” April 26, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay Walker (Student) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl Reader, Partner, Dennis & Turnbull Chartered Accountants & Business Consultants (business partner) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Wright (Fellow JKD Instructor) “I've known Gary for several years now, as a fellow instructor under Guro Dan Inosanto and Rick Faye. He is also certified as an instructor under Dave Onuma. . A great guy with a great sense of humour, a great training partner, and a great seminar host, with a love of what he does and a keen interest in his own personal development as well as that of his students. All in all, an instructor who I have no hesitation in recommending to others - easy to get along with and excellent as both a practitioner and as an instructor. A true professional!” April 26, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greta Reid (mum of Callum & Ronnie - Tiny Tigers) Hertfordshire martial arts has been wonderful for my childrenn their confidence has improved enormously whilst learning new skills.

Train hard, Have fun! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rikesh "Yo G, really enjoyed tonight's JKD session, I'd have to say it was probably one of the best classes in martial arts i've had to date! and yet i feel like you only touched on the tip of a gigantic iceberg!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon Taylor Hi G, I've been promising you a comment for your site for ages so here it is! "Many thanks for your patience, time, skill, friendship & flexibility, I love the training & working out on the thai pads/boxing drills, never thought the weaponry would interest me but WOW! So if any viewrers are reading this I recommend training with Gary on a class/private basis or both & do some Kali it's an eye opener! Next time I see you can we do some JKD & Panantukan? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean Scott Hi G, Big thank you to you, Guro D & Corey for making the seminar possible really enjoyed it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vivek Thaker Thanks Guro, That was plain wicked, I felt like I gained a lot of solid practical info from both seminars this month & really enjoyed them. Much respect V. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Haynes The Philipino MArtial Art (KALI) Gary is promoting is like GOLDDUST .... Since ancient times and for hundreds of years these arts had been used defined and had almost faded away, gone under the radar and allmost recently been forgotten about. This is partly because the art deceptive , disguised as a dance only used inside the Philipines . However Gary Hoptroff has a great understanding of the art and I have been lucky enough to train with him and experience the most personally effective art at such a small price -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Wilkins Like the new look for the web site Guro G, very groovy! I know ALL OF THEM!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Royal Marine Toby Blake Real good training at the weekend found the knife defence work & close quater drills very functional & to the point, absolutely gleaming! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PC Mark Lewis Many thanks Gary for the quick and simple self defence techniques you have shown me from Kali & JKD they have helped me out loads in my job. See you soon for more good training. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim Thank you for all you have taught me I couldn't ask for a better Guro. You have been an inspiration and i hope to see you in the holidays. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vivek Many thanks Guro G for the Panantukan seminar that was a top session learned loads, well fun. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waqas Cheers Guro top session see you soon. |
