Ben Samin

Ben Samin is a 8th Dan in Karate Sensei Ben is martial arts coach at Nerang PCYC and the Australasian Martial Art Studies (AMAS) Principal. Ben was also chosen by late Master of Bu Di Zhen Kung Fu to re-write family history and guide future directions of Bu Di Zhen Kung Fu. “I really enjoy teaching martial arts and guiding my students to set and reach goals in the sport,” he said. “I’ve taught 24 Australian Champions and recently returned from Japan where one of my students came second in the Open Championship’s. Nothing beats that feeling of seeing students compete and have ‘that moment’ when they realise their hard work is paying off – whether in training or on the world stage – it’s a large part of why I do what I do. Sensei Ben says he’s very humbled to a martial arts coach, his reward is in the lives that he changes on a day to day basis. “It’s a nice feeling to know I’m doing my part to help out across the community and I’ve met so many great people in the process.”
