Hi - My name is Mark Gwilliam I am 39 years old. I have a wife Sarah and three children who are all boys. Matthew, Shaun and Steven.

Matthew and Shaun study Kung Fu under Sifu at the Abertillery class - Steven is still a little too young

I work as a Contracts Co-ordinator in Newport South Wales.

I started Kung Fu training with what I was led to believe was Wing Chun. But after some time training I realised all was not what it seemed.

I found out later that the 'so called' Instructor was not qualified at all and that he had been taking our money and also grading us under complete false pretenses. I was surprised that there are still 'cowboys'
out there today.

It was then I started training with Sifu. I now know what real Kung Fu wu-shu is. After 5 years of hard training at least three times every week, I have achieved a Black Sash. I really enjoy the Kung Fu particularly the Ground-work and weapons training.

I look forward to keep improving and learning more weapons and more about myself.

My other interests are Rugby, which I coach a local youth side. Also football which I watch on t.v.

I also like to watch other sports.

My ambition is just to keep going.
