About Bill Carson

I had no real desire to write books; in fact it was something that I had never really thought about.

I worked as a night-club Bouncer for just over four years and in that time I had been involved in numerous altercations, sometimes there were amusing situations but most were not.

I began by making a record of the more unusual and violent incidents that occurred and put them into a diary. After four years I had accumulated quite a lot of material.So I decided to put it all together, the result is what you read in Show No Fear.

I first became interested in martial arts in the 1970s back then Martial arts was not that popular and quite an unusual thing to take up but my Dad God bless him said that if that’s what you want to do I will pay the monthly fees. He used to say I don’t care what anybody says you can’t beat a good left hook. He’s probably right but at the time I didn’t think so.

I successfully completed the six week mandatory Karate beginners course and received my first grade. The style of Karate that I was training in at the time was Kyokushinkia a tough style where we would practice diligently at trying to turn the human body into a weapon. I stayed at the club for many years but became a little disillusioned with it all and to cut a long story short I decided to go my own way.
