Natasha Thompson
I started my Martial Arts journey around 20 years ago. I still remember my very first class when I was in awe of people with a red stripe on their white belt! I am now a 5th Degree Black Belt and I can’t explain how much this has added to my life. I now feel that I want to pass on all the things I have learnt to others, so you too can experience the benefits of Martial Arts.
