Interests: To find out my body limits

Meditation: My mind is not yet to that level as I don’t think it ever will be, but I can only keep on trying.

Instructing: I love developing a student into something they can be proud of.


Instructing Preferences:

I do prefer training a student, one on one, as I can push them to their limits. If they are prepared to make the time, so am I.

Instructing Lows: 

Teaching a student that gives up!

Team Coaching: 

I love coaching top martial art athlete’s as I always compete with them. Most coaches only stand and watch.



I enjoy competing more than instructing therefore the competitor has the faith in his coach to do the same as they.

For me there is nothing worse that a coach or instructor that thinks the world of himself but yet he has never competed in a competition before. 

I believe that the instructor must be able and capable to perform what he instructs. 

Competitions: 

I’m a competitor by nature. I enjoy showing my stuff, if you can, why not? I have that problem.
Every person is different, some enjoy competing and some don’t. I’ve found out from a young age that I enjoyed competing and was fairly good at it. 

Inspiration: 

Use the gifts that have been given to you. You have one life so make the most of it. This has always been my motto in life : If you have a gift, no matter which sport or art you do, do it to your best ability and you will feel that it was worth all the time and effort, "trust me".
