About Me


All My Friends MySpace Layouts are downloads at Freemyspacelayouts.org Hmmm where to begin? You can probably get a pretty good idea of the kind of person I am just from reading the sections about my interests etc.
For those of you who do actually bother to read this section (because in all fairness, few people do :P) I'll mention a few things which may or may not be of interest to you when deciding if I'm 'kool' enough to add ;-) (because I'm certainly making no promises! :P)I get on easily with most people. I like to think I lead a fairly balanced life. I'm a very deep and spiritual guy who loves life and does not like to see anyone or anything hurt.
I believe in looking after myself through eating right, exercise (martial arts, bodyweight training, running, bag work), and being positive. I accept that many people decide not to live this way and I don't put anyone down for it. We all just choose our own path and have the right to do so.
I am currently working part time as a Health Trainer for the NHS, whilst also taking a course that will get me qualified as a Personal Trainer.I am very passionate about martial arts and train in Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Silat.
I love reading and have recently started writing (fiction). I have a very active imagination and I think it is important for us to use our talents and express ourselves to the fullest. (if you are thinking 'geek' by now you are probably right! I have no shame though so it's all good :P)
I don't drink so I don't really get much out of going to bars on nights out and watching others get lashed :p However, I am partial to the odd night out at bars such as Krash or somewhere with kool music, but I much prefer to go see a movie or just hang out at friends houses. (this excludes Karl because I love watching him get trashed as it usually results in life threatening stunts and a funny injury. Well...not so funny at the time but maybe the next morning?)
Respect means everything to me
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle" Philo of Alexandria.
I get bored easily if I'm not mentally stimulated. I like meeting new people so feel free to send me a message (like I could stop you!) or add me to MSN - [email protected]

My Interests

MARTIAL ARTS (JKD,KALI,SILAT,BJJ)
TRAINING (bodyweight/strength training, stretching, bag work etc)
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT: HUNA is a huge part of my life right now. Its a system which combines both religion and psychology, and has some roots in the practices of the Hawaiian Kahuna which can be traced back thousands of years. A large focus of the system is on healing which I have been very successful with. Elements of Huna can be found in various traditions all over the world and it is very applicable to daily life.

Heroes:

I'm not a fan of the word hero but I'll list some people I have great respect for.
Bruce Lee as he pushed himself beyond 'limitation' and spent so much time studying martial arts and coming up with a way to 'free' the individual from style and allow me to be walking the path I am today
Martin Luther King for standing up for what he believed in and progressing so far with the civil rights movement.
I respect everyone contributing to the fight against animal cruelty and to the ecologists and environmentalists who work so hard to reverse the damage humanity has caused to the earth (I would make an awesome hippy).
