Hi, my name is Jeannette, and I study Aikitaichi, a soft martial art which is a synthesis of Aikido, Tai Chi, Hsing I and other kung-fu and movement techniques. Our style was created by Jack Livingston. You can read more about it here: www.aikitaichi.comI'm a brown-belt and an assistant instructor. My personal interests lie in the psychological/emotional benefits of martial arts, and in other expressive art therapies. We're in Salt Lake City, UT. Our school is a member of IAOMAS so feel free to visit if you're in the area.

Hey guys, My name is Niaal Holder, I am a brown belt and assistant intstructor in Hikaru Ryu, which draws mainly from the American Karate and Taekwondo Organization, plus elements of traditional Aikido and Ninjado. Our IAOMAS affiliated school is located in Perth, Australia, and is pioneered by our Shodai, Colin Wee. You can check out our school at www.hikarudojo.comOur school is big on the development of tactical technique and strategy, my personal interest lies in the psychology of combat (and also doing big fancy kicks - I can see my sensei shaking his head...). Being in the most isolated city in the world means we don't get frequent visitors - but if you're coming to Perth, you're welcome with us.

My name is Jenny Hong and I am a 2nd Dan black belt in ITF Tae Kwon Do. I live in Kent, near the fabulous Bluewater shopping centre.
I am both a student and an instructor, club name is Erith Tae Kwon Do, originating from Erith, Kent in England. Instructing in Tae Kwon Do is considered a part time hobby for me, however I do teach 3 classes a week in Erith and Welling in Kent and have great dedication and pleasure in passing on the knowledge especially to the younger members of my clubs.
My club is a member of IOAMAS and for any further information, please contact me by e-mail on jclhong@yahoo.co.uk
