Interests
I have been playing guitar for almost 4 years, this has sparked my interest in music and lead me to find my natural talent for music as well as building my coordination.
I have been playing squash for about 2 years now and it has greatly increased my overall fitness and improvisation skills. Playing this sport has vastly increased my ability to plan on the spot and react quickly.
I have studied the martial arts for about 12 years now, it has given me a great deal of discipline and confidence. Training in 3 very different styles of martial arts has given me a great sense of eclecticism, this has made me quite aware of the different ways in which people think. Because of this, I am able to understand the perspectives of many different people. Evidently, my training in martial arts has made me adept in the areas of self-defence, but it has also given me a great deal of knowledge in conflict resolution, and the ability to end/avoid conflict effectively.
