Amanda Clarke

I have always had a desire to get into martial arts but I never made the step myself until I had the chance to get my children involved – Emma at four and a half and Dominic at five. I started training for myself in ZDK (Freestyle Martial Arts) in 2006 and helping to teach the children in Tigers and Panthers pretty much straight away and loved it from the start.

I really love learning something new each week and adding that particular skill to my ever increasing martial arts knowledge base. I was so inflexible before I started and to be honest after giving so much to my children over the early years, I felt like I needed to put something back into me to. It has been an enormous confidence booster, my flexibility has improved, along with my strength and what a work out it is (for both body and mind). I really have found something that we can do as a family together and I see it being part of our lives for a very long time to come.

In my time away from Karate I enjoy being with my family, riding my bike, camping and travelling, skiing, making furniture and creating art and I am soon to complete a 5 year project of building our family home.
