I have studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), although I have no formal qualifications. I have worked as a play worker in a primary school for several years, having lots of fun and I am a certified first aider.

Profession:

Goals:

As a martial artist my goal is to become a Master, which to me means gaining an intimate understanding of human body mechanics, physiology, anatomy and psychology in terms of health and combat. As a teacher I hope to inspire people of all ages to become great martial artists, leading lives full of confidence, thoughtfulness and awareness. As a person my aim is to be safe, healthy and happy and to always treat others as I would wish to be treated.

Interests:

I would say my primary interest is human interaction and communication. It's why I study martial and health arts and read books on subjects like body language and psychology. I love spending time with my friends, my family and most of all my fiancé. I love walking in the countryside, watching movies,reading and listening to all sorts of music from classical to hip hop.
