Vale Brice Steele


It was with great sadness that I read of the tragic death of AFP officer Brice Steele in the Garuda Air Disaster last week. Brice and I were friends prior to his posting to Beijing in 2002. Brice was a blue belt in BJJ having spent time with John Will, John Donehue and Carlos Machado. He and I trained together during his time in Melbourne and he taught me many important lessons in life and the Martial Arts. I will be attending his funeral in Brisbane on Monday to say goodbye to a man off incredible integrity and intelligence.
