Goals:
In martial arts:  I want to be the best that I can be, preferably one of the best there is!  I also want to share the benefits I've found in these martial arts with everyone, and encourage and help people to gain confidence and happiness in their lives.  I'm aiming to become a full time adults and kids instructor, and to be able to help and teach others as well as I am being taught.

In general:  I would like to continue to develop my art work as well as martial arts, so that I can use them both to help benefit others as well as myself.  I aim to constantly better myself as a person in many ways, emotionally as well as intellectually and physically.  In general I want to be able to contribute to the happiness and well being of the world and everyone in it :)

Interests:
Other than Wing Chun, Escrima and Tai Chi & Chi Gung, which I love, my other main interest is drawing and art.  I'm doing my degree in Illustration at the moment, and spend a lot of my spare time drawing or doodling.  I love to learn about things and often research different subjects to try and understand them more.  I also enjoy swimming, being outside, animals, and spending time with my friends and family. :)
