7th Degree Black Belt Aiki Ninjutsu

I’ve been training at Warrior’s Edge for over 20 years. 

Originally with a mindset of wanting to learn a martial art to develop myself physically and mentally, and to be able to defend myself, having grown up with regular bullying.

I was searching for a martial art focused on practical self-defense techniques and was able to find this amazing dojo.  

The time has flown by! I love exploring how the historical strategies of the Japanese samurai and ninja can be applied to modern day attacks and techniques. 

Outside of training, I enjoy spending time with my family, relaxing at home or going on trips. I am currently working on a Masters Degree in teaching Secondary Education.
