Instructor Profile

Sensei Dan Russell 4th Dan
Principal instructor of Dansankan Goju-Ryu dojo, Dan has been training in Martial Arts since 1970. He started practicing Okinawan Goju-Ryu under Master Higaonna in 1989 and met his first Tai Chi teacher in Taiwan in 1981. He met Patrick Kelly in 1996 since which time he has continued to train under Patrick's guidance and over the past ten years they have developed a close friendship. Dan continues to teach regularly in Tai Chi and Goju Ryu (also known as fujien white crane). In 1999 he began to expand his practice with Ju Jitsu and Grappling, which he continues to study in Australia. Dan started Tai Chi and Karate teaching at the Dansankan dojo in the Atlas Works, Carlisle in 1989 - classes have continued since without a break. (Dansankan is at the moment the only full-time professional school in Carlisle with its own fully equipped dojo.)

Dan Russell is also one of the most effective internationally know hypnotherapists and shamanic healers currently practicing in Britain. You can visit the Hypnotherapy Training Centre, a part of Carlisle's Holistic Health Clinic, for more information.
