Favourite Techniques

I love using the Heel Hook when grappling or doing mixed martial arts and a Spinning Hook Kick is an all round favourite.

Hobbies

Kickboxing, a bit of kicking with boxing, some boxing with kicking and a bit more Kickboxing.
And watching Doncaster Rovers!

Why Holistic Fitness?

I like that it's a good, fun, family club and I also like sparring with the Adult members. I really enjoy seeing the children I teach develop their skills and cannot wait until my own son is old enough to come and take part!
