Meet Sensei Richard Smith

Rich had sampled several different martial arts including Karate and Kick Boxing before joining Can Do Martial Arts as a student. When training privately with Sensei Ben he was introduced to the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do and was instantly hooked.

Rich is proud to be one of Ben’s first JKD students. Having trained under him for over 6 years he is now one of Ben’s most senior JKD students. Rich continues to train with Ben every week (both in classes and private tuition) in many different martial arts including: Kali, Jun Fan Gung Fu, Kick Boxing, Judo, BJJ, and Wing Chun.

Rich currently teaches the Jeet Kune Do classes in Bicester. He is also a self-employed computer games programmer and father of two girls (who he hopes will start learning JKD very soon)!
