Growing up I remember watching the classic martial arts films; Best of the Best, Bloodsport and all Bruce Lee films. I would even jump up and down on my bed trying to perform a jumping kick with the hope of hitting the lamp shade. Needless to say I was hooked and at the age of 13 I received my black belt in Taekwondo.

In my teens I was fortunate enough to compete in the Andalucía Taekwondo League, where I won the league without losing a single fight.  In my University days I use to commute over an hour to Coventry to visit Master Neil Guest who was the examiner for my black belt promotion. I took a lot of traditional value from his classes. I maxmized my time in the UK by competing regularly and always took the opportunity to pass on what I learnt when I returned to Gibraltar.

​

When I joined the Police and started my family it was a struggle to have a balance lifestyle between work, family and training. When I did have a moment to myself I often found myself training in Hapkido. Later on, I found Yoga! I really wished I had discovered it earlier.   I really saw the value in Yoga and thought it was something that I should introduce to my children, so I flew to London and qualified as a family yoga teacher. 

​

I then launched Yoga & Combat in September 2020 as a not for profit sports club and the rest is history!

Namaste
