Seven years ago I stepped onto the mats at Black Lotus for the very first time. What initially started as a really great workout soon turned into a huge part of my life, as the dojo quickly became my second home.

Learning the art from Soke Nic improved my physical and mental wellbeing so much that it inspired me to teach and share the knowledge I learned with others. I have coached classes as well as competitive athletes, and have had the honour of stepping in the ring myself to compete. 

I have immense pride for this dojo and the fine group of members that also call it home – the instruction here is second to none.
