Yn Gymraeg

I started kickboxing when I was 9 so I have been doing it for 8 years. It’s very good for your health and fitness. You get to travel to lots of different places for fights and get to meet loads of amazing people.

I have fought for Wales and I became the Welsh Champion. I have fought some really good kickboxers defending my title.

I have suffered some really bad injuries such as dislocating my shoulder, breaking my ankle twice and I even broke my wrist, but this has never put me off competing. I always come back fighting. Kickboxing makes me stronger and proud of myself.

Even though I have been doing it for 8 years, I am still dedicated to improving every day. I train in the STAR Centre Leisure Centre in Splott and also the Ultimate Fitness Centre just off City Road. My training instructor is James Russell and he was the British and European champion and he was trained by a former world champion.
