* My Martial Arts *
Steve Pickles.Com
Kerry has informed me that as martial arts played such a large part in
my past life that I must share some of it with you...

I have been involved with the Martial Arts in one way or another since
1978. I currently am in retirement. Having spent most of my life
fighting and teaching others how to fight and survive in an unhealthy
predicament. The philosophical side was all i was interested in
towards the end of my career as a martial artist.

I cannot complain as i have earned my living as a martial artist for
some years, and it has taken me round the world to meet interesting
people and stars of the genre. Including the film star Bill Wallace who
was the undefeated world kick boxing champion with the fastest legs
in the world, clocked in at over 60 miles an hour, now that was a hard
training session. But it greatly bores me now so i am retired and have
closed my schools and no longer teach.

For those of you Interested I am a 5th Degree Black belt in
TaeKwon-Do (master Instructor status) and a Third Degree Black belt
in Kick boxing (BMAA Freestyle).

There are many things I could tell you about my martial arts such as
titles and all the rest of it but it would probably bore you as much as
me. The thing I am most proud of is my family who all became Black
belts and champions in their own right including one world title for
Nathan. Who is the only one left practising martial arts.

Here are some memories Ive dug out for you to view.
