About

Have learned a bit of various martial arts (Judo, Shotokan and Shukokai Karate and Kuk Sool Won) but now mostly live vicariously through my kids who are 3rd and 5th kup Tae-Kwondo practitioners.

I'll never be competitive, but I enjoy martial arts for their discipline, fitness and self control.

I look after the Broxburn Tae-Kwondo website for Miss Redmond (IV degree) which includes some excellent pattern videos (not by me, I hasten to add - I just held the camera!)
