Accomplishments or Awards: I think our classes in Pencoed and Garw are huge accomplishments and I
honestly believe that Tang Soo Do has helped the people in my classes do things
that they would never have accomplished without coming to TSD, in both their
martial arts life and their private lives. We
are all stronger people because we
practice
together. Favourite Form: I like Wan Shu, it seems to be designed for a little person and that suits me fine! I also love Pyung ahn Odan for its attitude. Most
Influential Martial Artist: Master
John Trudgill for pushing me and making me be a Martial artist not a Lady Martial
artist, those who know me will know what I mean. Kyo Sa Carol Trudgill for her inspiring efforts and her grace under pressure. Other Hobbies: Studying, reading philosophy, meditation and teaching Science ( My day time Job) Last Book Read: The Three books of life by Ficino Favourite
Book: Oooh
so many to chose from. The people who know me are well aware of my love affair
with books of all sorts, I have a reputation for keeping Ebay in cash but here
goes ,Fiction Waylander : David
Gemmell - a wonderful author and a
great loss, a man who creates worlds in his mind and fills them with such people
has a soul with great light. In
philosophy I don’t know where to start I have so many favourites The
True and invisible Rosicrucian order by Paul foster Case, The Sepher Yetzirah by
Areyah Kaplan and the writings of my own
spiritual teacher Rowan Carvalho who inspires me
to push my mind further and explore the universe
within and without.
Last Film Watched: Star Trek (the new one) it was FAB. If you are a Trekkie you will love it if you are not a Trekkie - WHY NOT!!! Favourite
Movie: At
the moment V For Vendetta because it mimics what is happening in the world today
and the manipulation of the public psyche by the Government using Fear and the
media – Don’t get me started Star
Wars _ the original one for being a
seminal film in my teenage years. Favourite Meal: Chinese as with my better half, but I do like a good Caesar Salad now and then. Pet: I have the same pets as Master Humphries but I also have School pets 3 Rats, a Bearded Dragon and several Fish. These come home in school holidays much to Master (Mr ) Humphries disgust.
