I'm Lesley, age unspecified! Live in Leeds, am an English teacher in a secondary school in North Leeds, so I often get called up to break up the fights at school! Currently train in Taekwondo and am a first Dan. Spend most of my time either working, training or writing for Martial Edge as well as my other hobby of going out and drinking cocktails. Not very TKD of me, but they are so pretty and taste so nice!
I also live in a comedy flat; which often breaks, things fall apart and leaks.

I've recently begun studying Aikido (Iwama style) but mainly stick to Krav Maga. I come from a more Kick Boxing back ground mixed with the other styles I've tried but not gotten engrossed in.
I Work in sales during the day but do something towards MA's every spare second, even the strange visualizing exercises on the bus to work!
You will mainly get to know me through my poor spelling
Happy Posting

Name, Oli. Age, also unspecified. My martial arts background started under the schooling of my father, who has a solid background in the middle eastern martial arts. (I come from a mixed background of White and Middle Eastern [Specifically Iran])
From that I studied pretty extensively into the Chinese internals (Taijiquan, Baguazhang, ShingHi etc) and have been trying to combine the two mixes of culture and style into what has come to be known as "Liu Shui Dao".
My daytimes usually involve something to do with the garden, meditating in it, walking the Jack Russell Puppy (Benj) and seeing my partner.

I'm Phillip "Pete" Starr - living in Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA. I've been involved in martial arts since 1956 (okay, I'm OLD)- founded the kung-fu system known as Yiliquan which merges classical Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, Taijiquan, and a form of northern Shao-lin known as Baixingquan with some principles that are unique unto Yiliquan itself-
I've authored "The Making Of A Butterfly" (available through Amazon.com and local bookstores) and my second book, "Martial Mechanics" is due for release next Spring!
