Living Martial Arts

Lucy Wolf is someone that I’ve known for some time. I consider her one of the stronger ladies that I have seen perform in TKD.  This podcast will give you a little insight into how she started and flourished in a time when TKD was more male-orientated. Mrs Lucy Wolf was surprised that I contacted her to appear on my podcast, and that shows to me that she’s not aware of how others have seen her as not just a role model for females in TKD but a good, strong role model for TKD.  As well as continuing her journey in TKD and being a registered osteopathic, Lucy is now a mother of three children. However, she continues to teach and inspire the next generation of TKD students. If the students that she’s teaching get a little bit of her inner strength and determination, they’ll surely be great students. All about Lucy Wolf Lucy started training at the age of 7 and had a competitive career spanning over 25 years. She won 3 golds in ITF patterns at 4th & 5th degree - two of these in Korea. She’s been on the national team in both ITF, WAKO & WKU kickboxing - winning gold medals in patterns, points sparring, continuous sparring and power breaking. Lucy has also been a multiple world champion. After having three children, she’s retired from competing but passionately teaches and coaches her students and members of the wider national team. With coaching, she lives and breathes the experiences with her students. It’s truly a life’s passion. I hope you enjoy our chat.

Paul started training in kung fu at the age of 10 for five years. As a young adult, he discovered Shaolin Qi Shi Kung Fu and achieved a high level within this style. He is now exploring the seven animal styles more deeply and learning internal Nei gong from a style called Yan Shou Gong. We had a great chat about his martial arts journey, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Please check out these links for Si-Gung Paul Wilson's classes.

Alfie Lewis talks to the Dark and the tall Master Along with the tall Master, we chat with Master Alfie Lewis about all things martial arts. As mentioned in my blog, I challenge anyone to find another person who is close to the level of passion that Master Alfie Lewis has for martial arts—not just his love and knowledge of his art but his extensive knowledge of other martial arts, too. I love seeing Alfie's 'Keep History Alive posts' on Facebook. He features many old-school martial arts practitioners from various disciplines. He's also in the process of writing a book. I'm sure it will be a great read, and I can't wait.  We had a great catch-up talking about our favourite topic. I hope you enjoy the chat as much as we did.
