Mr Antoniades First Started Training in American Kenpo whilst recovering from a knee cartilage operation, an injury sustained during a Kickboxing Tournament. He was reading an article in a Martial Arts Magazine which mentioned the fact that Elvis Presley Had Trained under Ed Parker and was a Black Belt in American Kenpo. It also mentioned how the style incorporated a lot of hand movements.

Being a life long Elvis fan, the fact that Elvis Presley had trained in Kenpo as well as that it required more hand work than leg work, convinced Athos to seek out a club teaching Kenpo, thinking this would allow him to keep training until he made full recovery from the knee injury.

Kenpo's no nonesense approach to street fighting had him hooked to this dynamic and exciting martial art, he never returned to Kickboxing. He gained his 1st Dan Black Belt in England then Studied with some of the top instructors in America. He is currently 4th Dan in American Kenpo.
