Scott Pratt is 34 years old and started his journey in martial arts at a young age dabbling at Karate and Kung Fu, but fell away from martial arts for many years. Always fascinated by Bruce Lee Scott was amazed to discover UK JKD ScimitarMartialArts in North Wales, Wrexham. Starting one Wednesday night Scott then spent the next week nursing many bruised and aching muscles due to an introduction to Tai Boxing from Carl. Undeterred Scott was hooked and over the next few years Scott trained under Carl fighting off years of beer drinking and inactivity. In late 2002 Scott was asked to teach a class for Carl to which he promptly said no. Scott wanted to build up his own confidence and martial arts knowledge before starting a class, so after a few months of intensive training Scott opened his class in Connah's Quay in June Of 2003. As all of Carl's Students Scott has participated in Carls Fun run for Charity every year and over the last 8 years has raised over £1,500 to the various charities. Since Attaining the level of assistant instructor Scott has trained with Sifu Larry Hartsell every year, even travelling to America in 2005 to train with Sifu Larry in his Private Intensive Training Program, Which he describes as a totally awe inspiring experience. Scott has also dabbled in boxing. In Feb of 2006 Scott was present when Carl brought over Tim Tackett for a 2 day seminar; Tim introduced those present to some of Bruce Lee's original ideas and techniques trained the way Bruce himself taught. Scott can often be seen running around different routes in Connah's Quay, or in either Central Park or Wepre Park having adopted one of Carl "Park Sessions" routines Scott is currently a retail manager in a well known supermarket chain, as well as testing his skills in the busiest bar in North wales, Wrexham, with over 1800 customers per night as a Door Supervisor. As well as teaching his class in Connah's Quay Sports Center, assisting Carl in his Classes, helping him teach other door supervisors in the Wrexham area Scott still finds time to train himself as well as hold down his two jobs and somewhere in his limited spare time he enjoys researching and adding to his already impressive knowledge of Star Wars trivia and collecting Star Wars merchandise, motorbikes, computer games and helping his beautiful girlfriend "tidy up" (usually under protest!!)
Scott is proud to announce the birth of his daughter Elen on 15 March 2006, and has started training her already! Anyone wishing to attend Scott's Class are welcome to turn up on a Monday night 8pm at Connah's Quay sports centre for Scimitar Martial Arts UK JKD in North Wales.
