Reason for starting Blaze
I started at Blaze for the same reason as most people, to get fit and learn self-defence.
Having not done any real fitness since I left school I decided to join Blaze at the same time as my eldest son and now having just completed my first London Marathon I feel my fitness has come a long way.

My goals and objectives
Like most people who take part in martial arts my long term goal is to achieve my Black belt and progress further, in the short term my goal is always to get through my next grading and work on my fitness and flexibility.

Why I became a coach
I feel very privileged to have been asked to join the coaching team as kickboxing has become a large part of my life. I find it very rewarding helping people to achieve their goals and passing on the knowledge I have gained to both adults and children alike and having two sons at Blaze it's a great opportunity to be involved in their training also.
