Soke Cliff Witcher - 8th Dan
Cliff began his martial arts career in the early 70's, learning Judo. In the mid 80's a motorcycle accident damaged Cliff's back, and he was forced to retire from
competitive Judo in favour of a style that was more sympathetic to his injury. This led Cliff to the study of Tae Kwon Do
but opponents didn't approve of being leg-swept or thrown in training. Cliff then turned to Aki-Jitsu, Ju-Jitsu and Aikido
where he learnt to combine styles for the best effect. Cliff has settled into Ju-Jitsu and is now Chairman for the Zen
Kenpo Jujitsu Federation.
