I am a traditional Martial Artist, Small Business Owner/Manager, and Sport and Exercise Science Researcher.I run the Chinese Martial Arts and Health Centre Australia together with my husband Lester. We have been operating in the Toowoomba area since 2006. We have developed a dedicated client base of traditional students learning our systems of Tai Chi and Kung Fu (Chang Hong WuShu), and offer additional courses and programs including a Kung Fu oriented high intensity fitness program, FuFit (Kung Fu Fitness), a streamlined self defense program, TKT (Tactical Kung Fu Training), and Tai Chi and Qigong based wellness sessions. I have recently completed my Master of Science (Research) through the University of Southern Queensland in the area of Sports Science/Traditional Martial Arts, in collaboration with the Martial Arts Research and Testing Laboratory (MARTEL). I am now starting my PhD project through the University of Southern Queensland and in collaboration with MARTEL on the effects of traditional martial arts-based breath control training on muscle strength and heavy load carriage performance (The Amplification of Biomechanical Force Project).I am also head scientific researcher for QUAD R&D, a family owned research and development company. We hold patents for a novel armour system and are in the process of developing and commercialising this system.
