Grandmaster Christopher Nasilowski was born in the city of Pruskoteka in Poland, in the year 1951.
He first started to train in the martial arts, in 1967, and it was in the city of Szcztno where he first commenced his study of Judo, which he did for a couple of years, and was there that he learned how to unbalance and throw an opponent to the ground. This is also where he got his first taste of basic grappling techniques on the ground as well.
GM Chris tried some Shotokan Karate and Boxing, but his real fascination was with the Korean art of Taekwondo, which he began learning when he moved to Australia from Poland.
He began training at the Rhee Taekwondo Academy in Adelaide of South Australia, and that was in 1972 when he was just a young man of 21 years of age.
This was the era when earning a black belt meant that you had to perform the difficult breaking techniques such as breaking a solid brick, breaking three 1 inch wooden boards with the ball of the foot in a turning kick technique, and doing a flying side kick over 8 men crouching down on to the ground, and breaking five 1 inch boards being held by three strong assistants at the other end!
He stayed at the Rhee Taekwondo Academy for twelve years, and in this time he achieved the rank of 2nd Degree Black Belt, and he also earned the title of assistant instructor at that Dojang.
In 1984 Grandmaster Christopher Nasilowski felt that it was time for him to open up his own martial arts school, and to also try other styles of martial arts as well, so he went on to establish the Millenium School of Martial Arts International.
