Name: DAVID ESTES

Rank: 3rd DAN

Position at School: Owner/Instructor/Master of the Mop

Years in Martial Arts: 10

Accomplishments or Awards: ITF 7th World Tang Soo Do Championships in Panama

Gold Medal- Sparring, Bronze Medal – Staff Forms, SAQ International – SAQ Trainer

Favourite Technique: Outside/Inside Crescent Kick.  It’s great being tall.  Used as an axe kick it forces opponents to take a step back, giving you time to plot your next attack.

Favourite Form: Bassai Dae

Most Influential Martial Artist: Margueritte Gilvey (my lovely wife) – She was the person who got me started in martial arts.  I’d always been interested, but hadn’t ever taken the leap.  When she said she was going to start training, that was the impetus I needed.  Now we spend all day together at our new school…hmmm maybe that wasn’t such a great plan.

Other Hobbies: Computers and playing with my two dogs.  I also enjoy reading science fiction.  I’ve also been known to enjoy a cookie or 10.  I’m in therapy.

Last Book Read: Manuals, manuals and more manuals.  I’ve had to read manuals on school management software, accounting software, VCR’s etc. 

Favourite Book: Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard.  It is one of the only books I’ve read more than once.  It is a great sci-fi action book.

Last Film Watched: Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.  Sean Connery is the BEST.

Favourite Movie: Fifth Element & Wedding Singer – Both of these are movies I can’t help watching every time they come on TV. 

Favourite Meal:  Cookies.  Did I mention I’m in therapy?

Pet: R.A.S. and Gracie.  I love keeping them both on their toes.  They can never be sure I’m not about to jump out and start chasing them around the house.  Our lab is 10 years old and still acts like a puppy.
