Ewan Smith

How long have you been training?
10 years

Why did you start practising?
I walked past an Aikido class and was immediately interested in the art and the culture. Since then, my interest in Aikido has developed into a passion for martial arts as a whole.

What has the practice given you and why do you keep practising?
I continue to gain new insights every time I step on the mat, and it is this constant discovery which keeps me practising.

Why do you teach?
Martial arts practice has given me the opportunity to pass what I have learned on to others, which is an immensely rewarding experience.

What other hobbies/interests do you have?
Apart from martial arts, I am also interested in language learning and travelling.
