Reason for starting Blaze
I began training at Blaze, like most other people do, as a hobby and to get fit. I soon realised that martial arts was more than just a hobby. It taught me perseverance, respect, gave me goals to aim towards and more importantly - taught me skills that may one day save my life!

My goals and objectives
My ultimate goal would be to become a successful fighter. I would also like to study other martial arts along side kickboxing in order to widen my martial arts knowledge and become an all-round better fighter!

Why I became a coach
The day after passing my first grading whilst training I was invited to join the Blaze coaching team. It was at this point I soon realised that martial arts was no longer a hobby for me but instead had become a passion. I found that helping to coach the children during their training sessions not only helped to improve their levels but also helped to improve mine.
