Hi, I’m Ash and the owner of Arachnid Gym. As a team we have managed to build our club from scratch. We endeavour to help as many people as possible to become healthier and happier while constantly progressing.

I’ve been a full-time foster carer since 2007 and also have two kids of my own. I began my Martial Arts journey at Allens Martial Arts in 1998 where I learnt Zen Do Kai and MuayThai. Once my schooling and college was completed, Ellenbrook Martial Arts was born (2004) which then changed to Arachnid Gym some years later.

I’m a qualified Personal Trainer, Gym Instructor and World Kickboxing Association grading assessor.I hold a fourth degree ranking in Zen Do Kai, TetsuRyu and MuayThai (WKA) as well as spending years training in Filipino Arnis. I’ve competed in MuayThai and had the pleasure of coaching fighters to title level as well as coaching students from a beginner to an Instructor level in multiple styles.
