Neil (Noodle) has been involved in training and teaching various martial arts including karate, aikido & kung-fu since the mid 1980’s and dance including salsa, tango & swing since the early 2000’s. But having found capoeira with Professor Christos back in 2004 he was impressed by the many aspects contained within this diverse art and this has led to capoeira becoming his main focus for martial art training. He received his grey corda back in 2014 and since then when leading classes draws on his other skills to help students progress. His training has taken him around the UK and Europe and as far afield as Brazil & Bali with Mestre Pedro.
