I started at Proactive Marital Arts in the beginning of 2005 at the Cashmere Club training under Shihan Nigel Stupples. It has always been on my mind to learn some defence, as I have got older and with my experience of traveling overseas to some certain countries I decided to take action and join a club. (Plus also I have always dreamed of flying through the air like those Martial Artist film stars)
I am happy that I chose Freestyle Martial Arts, as there is a variety to learn.

It did not take me long to get hooked, actually after the second lesson! I like Challenges, I like pushing myself, and I like succeeding, so this suited me immensely.

After 6 months of joining I felt I needed more to help me grow within myself, and my interest turned to teaching.

So I started helping with the Children’s classes. This was one of the greatest learning experiences in life and still is to this day, now being an Instructor. Not only is it rewarding to help children grow within themselves, to see them achieve their own goals and watch them build their confidence and overcome any difficulties they were battling, it also is very beneficial to myself as I grow along with them, not only in training but in work as well.

I enjoy the atmosphere at the Proactive Clubs as it is like one big family.

Apart from spending time training in Freestyle Martial Arts, Kickboxing, and Shoot Fighting (ground fighting), I also enjoy running, weights, cycling, swimming and walking.

Another of my passions is travel, which I like to learn about other countries, life in general and cultures.

My motto in life is: “Let your dreams become your reality”

And I know I have many more paths to walk down before I complete my Journey.
