Bio
I started my martial arts education in judo at the age of about 6 which I continued for about 2 years before other interests took over. Fast forward quite some years I was introduced to kick boxing and Kung Fu (lau gar) by my big sister (I'm sure it was an excuse for her to beat me up) which I continued for 5 years until I went to college. I did return after college but my feet were firmly trapped in the world of endurance sport with marathons, ultra marathons and ironman triathlons! So I hung up my belt and gloves.
This was followed up with a healthy dose of powerlifting and qualifying for the British championships.
Post COVID and a house move resulting in moving away from the gym and my training group I walked through the doors of Nishikan Martial Arts and discovered a new family, I really enjoy learning new techniques and tearing them apart to understand the biomechanics and how small tweaks can change the movements performance.
As a qualified personal trainer and level 4 strength and conditioning coach I love looking deeper than the surface of a movement or technique to understand the what's why's and how's and ask the what ifs!
