Tracie Darmon

Tracie Darmon (28) is senior instructor and her specialist area is weaponry using 5ft staff, kama's and nunchakus. Also studies under Paul Fowler using the Tiger Hooks.
Grade: 1st Dan Kickboxing, 5th Dan Weaponry
She also likes to dabble in semi-contact sparring, both of which she has collected an array of medals in various competitions over the years, she is also in the current WKA GB Squad and is currently 3 x WAKO British champion (2005 - Hard style, 2006 Soft style and hard style). Having been on the British WAKO Judging panel, Tracie believes that you can never know enough about varying martial arts skills and constently trains in other styles to better her own perfomance in weaponry.
Likes: Watching weaponry students progress from knowing very little to holding their own at comps against people who have been on the cicuits for years.
also likes the friendly atmosphere the weaponry comps have - even in our own sections we all find that we are cheering each other on - its brilliant to be a part of that.
Dislikes: people who claim to be champions who only go to small / muppet comps - get out of your comfort zone!
Also dislikes bullies - It's why she started training.
