Richard started martial arts when he was 6 years old. He practiced Judo in South Africa until he was 13, then moved to Sydney, Australia. In Australia he continued to practice Judo until High School. After High School he explored many other Japanese martial arts such as Shorinji Kenpo, Iaido, Kendo, and Karate, before discovering Budo Taijutsu. In 2005 Richard joined a Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu dojo and has been training in Budo ever since. Richard first traveled to Japan in 2006 to meet Grandmaster Hatsumi Masaaki and also trained at the Bujinkan Honbu (Bujinkan Headquarters). He went back again in 2009 before deciding to live and train in Japan for a year in 2010. During his time in Japan, Richard trained both at the Bujinkan Honbu and at the Kodokan Honbu (Judo). Since 2012, Richard has continued to travel to Japan yearly to train. In 2016, he received his 5th dan in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and the privilege of opening his own dojo.
