Bio
I first dabbled in martial arts in 1996, training with Oxford University students when I was there working.
My martial arts journey, however started in earnest in 2014 with Paul when my 2 children started training with him. I started just to improve my fitness, never thinking I would reach black belt.
I have found karate to be the perfect mechanism for achieving goals, focussing on each of the steps (the belts), until the perceived ultimate goal (black belt) is attained, and even then it doesn't stop.
I am passionate about women's safety & self defence. Learning how to defend yourself & knowing that if push came to shove you can give as good as, or better than, you get is empowering.
What I have come to realise is that the only person who stops you from achieving what you want to achieve is you. If you feel too shy, unworthy or unable it takes courage, strength of character & tenacity to push yourself & remove that incorrect belief.
Life's most worthwhile journeys are often the hardest.
