As a kid he went there started wrestling then moved on to martial arts etc. Really .. wow thats awesome man. i would not think it was the original snake pit i think it got rebuilt . i will ask him about it tomorrow. I asked him today he trained there age 15 for a year and age 29-33 he said there was some talented fellas there and the training was very hard he suffered broken ribs training at the snake pit. He is about 48 himself now. He said there is a great history with the wrestling there. It was another string to his bow regarding fighting techniques. He founded a martial arts club and taught for many years. ive just put up what he used to teach although it does not mean much to me i dont know much about martial arts etc. Mark started practicing martial arts (Karate) over 30 years ago at the age of 12. Over the years he has practiced many forms including, JuJitsu, Fu-Jow-Pai, Muay Thai, Tai Chi, Jeet Kune Do, small circle JuJitsu as well as Kyusho Karate. Mark holds a 3rd degree black belt in Fu-Jow-Pai and a 5th Dan in combined martial arts (Karate/JuJitsu/Budo). It was this exposure to many styles and techniques that led Mark to form HKJ Combined Martial Arts where he applied the most effective techniques from all these disciplines into the syllabus that we teach today.
