My name is Mike Brown and I'm 42 years old. I live in Abertillery South Wales and work as an Upholsterer by trade.

I am married to Sian and have two sons - Daniel 13 (who used to train in Kung Fu) and Sam 8.

I started Kung Fu in 2002 and have achieved a Black Sash. I have trained before, but the Class that was supposed to be Wing Chun was not a true representation of the style. Therefore I look at myself pretty much a Novice when starting in FYSKF.

I like all that Kung Fu has to offer but particularly Forms, Sparring, Chi Sau-sticking hands, Groundwork, short -stick, locks…pretty much all of it I suppose.

Outside of Kung Fu I keep fit by visits to the gym and my beloved mountain bike. Though I always try to train x3 every week in the classes.

I also enjoy relaxing by walking with my children and caravanning breaks.

My ambition is - to keep studying the Kung Fu with Sifu and to stay healthy. The Kung Fu seems to do a good job of this.

Words of wisdom "If it makes you feel good…keep doing it".
