Sifu's daughter, but he decided he would not teach her the Art of Kung Fu WuShu in her early years, as she would have to show dedication and discipline first.

He first started Kali-Jade training in Taekwondo at the age of 5 years, and from there moved onto Judo. Sifu started a Childrens Kung Fu Class in Cwmbran, S.Wales in September in 1999, where he thought it time that she advance from her current training in Judo and start Kung Fu in earnest.

Kali-Jade proved very competent in the Art, training three times a week - every week.

She has achieved many honours. Among them becoming a British Champion on three occasions. Last year 2006 she had three really 'gritty' fights and won the accolade at the Championships for 'Best Female Fighter'.

When training Kali-Jade enjoys all aspects of the Art, but particularly stick-work and floor defence.

She also loves Netball, and has represented South East Wales, at Under 16 and under 18 levels.

What little spare time she has left, she likes going out with her friends.

Her ambition is to pass all her 'A' levels, go to University, and become a teacher.
