Hi all my name is lisa i am 32 and am married to andy and we have to beautioful children (but i’am biased)matthew 10 and katdie 9.
both of them train at prokick as well ,matthew is currently on his BROWN (yes i know my 10 year old is a higher grade than me give me a break) and katdie is on her green.i have been training at prokick roughly ten years getting my yellow belt in april 00.

andy did get to yellow belt then left and yes he did blame me on the forum lol but honestly i am a kitten.
I love kickboxing and the prokick community i also enjoy teaching as it is a way of giving something back and i have to say i could’nt imagine life without prokick.

i started martial arts at the age of four starting with karate which my dad is a black belt i remember we we were little my dad my sister christine and i would have been in the living room practising throw’s and blocks.
And when you have a world champion kickboxer in the family you tend to go in that direction.
after karate i tried judo ,jujitsu and tai kwon doh to name but a few.

It was finally in march 2000 after watching billy come out of retirment to raise money for charity (the royal childrens hospital) to fight nemisis Chart Singh that i said hey i’d like to try that so the very next day i sighned up for a beginners class with my cousin Kerry-anne.
and i have to say that we were both a little more than over weight.

I remember during the first class looking at kerry-anne and thinking to my self what i’m i doing here my face was puple and i could hardly breath but i went back the next week and the week after that and who would have thought that all these years later i would actually be working at ProKick or even teaching my own classes it is truly something to be proud of on my part.

Since i have been at ProKick i have met some really amazing people and made a lot of really good friends.

2008 was a really hard year for both myself and my family as some of you know but for the ones that don’t my granda Billy Murray snr was dignosed with cancer in march of that year a we were told it was terminal and on june 25th after such a short battle with bone cancer a very painful and deabiliting diease he lost his fight even as i write this now i have strong emotions i miss him every day and my granda was such a big influence on my life and helped mould the person i am today.
as a tribute to my granda Billy murray jr set up a website in his memory please have a look.

http://www.billymurray.com/  this is the website dedicated to my granda.

my fathers illness also took a turn for the worst and in sept 09 he had to have his left leg amputed every time the doctors where ready to give up he would suprise them by fighting back harder.
i would just like to thank everyone for there support over that year it mean’t an awful lot.

My goals for the future are: to watch my children grow to be strong inapendant and confident and succeed in what ever they choose to do in life.
and hopefully i f i have taught them well fight and never give up on the things that matter.

i hope to still be involved in kickboxing and who know’s maybe even one day enter the ring (outside of the gym).
Live life to the full,Love have fun and enjoy everyday with my family and friends which i am truly blessed to have.
