Due to on going medical issues in 2009 Brett ceased all training to focus on recovery.
In 2014 after recovering from a broken neck sustained in a major car accident, the need to reconnect with Martial Arts was evident and Master Phil Monaghan invited Brett to a session. From that day on the journey has continued to evolve with Yamba Diamond Martial Arts opening in October 2016.
