Bio of Tri-Style founder Dan Healy
How it all began
Dan Started his Martial arts journey like many in the 1980s by studying Judo at the local church hall, in his mid Teens he started boxing training at his local gym and a life long passion for Martial Arts was ignited.
Starting a Career as a Chef got in the way for a few years but Dan always made time to train and hit the Heavy Bag. A Career change in his early 20s gave him evenings free, enrolling in his Local Wing Chun school his martial Arts training really took off.
Studying for many years at UK Wing Chun Fu Association under the world renowned James Sinclair and his talented group of instructors Dan soon started training 3 or 4 times a week. A grappling Session was added to the timetable which Dan attended every week as well. The club opened a 2nd full time Gym and while studying to become a Personal trainer Dan Started a Fitness and Conditioning class there. The new Gym also offered Mauy Thai, and BJJ classes which lead to Dan training some evening at 2 different gyms to fit in all the training. To Improve his kicking and flexibility Dan also started training Freestyle Karate kickboxing fitting it in when he could.
Starting to teach
Starting work in Saffron Walden as a Personal Trainer incorporating a lot of Martial Arts exercises into his session, Dan caught the eye of a Lifeguard who wanted to start Kickboxing. Soon a small class started which lead to Dan teaching several Kickboxing sessions a week. It soon became feasible to open a full time Martial Arts Studio, and Dan Founded the Tri-Style Martial Arts system.

The gym had 6 fighters as part of the WFKKO Team GB for the Marial Arts world games where they won Bronze an Silver medals in K1 rules.

One of Dans PT clients was the Tour manager for the well known Band the Artic Monkeys, he asked Dan if he had ever thought about taking up being a Bodyguard ( Close Protection) Dan hadn’t but went and got qualified and started a 2nd Job alongside running the gym.
