Practice Background:

"I originally started out in athletics specialising in middle distance running (3000m, 5000m and 10,000m) and swimming before moving towards Martial Arts. 

That happened after completing a degree in Chemistry ,and I felt I needed a more physical practical application in my life; it allowed me to express myself -- Martial Arts provided that outlet.

Before going on to completing and working nine years of kickboxing at TMAP, I practiced boxing, Krav Maga, Thai Kickboxing and four years of Japanese Jujitsu where I achieved a purple belt. All mentioned are  amazing experiences,  allowing me to refine and intensify my love  and understanding behind true meanings of  MA's etiquette ; despite it’s apparent austerity 

(discipline), there is a lot of character and history which I thoroughly enjoy"
