About Me
I was born in Belgium to a German mother and Turkish father, but we moved to the UK three months later, meaning I’m quite Anglicized (though I would still call myself Turkish or German rather than English, despite the fact that my grasp of Turkish is tenuous to say the least...). My life is focused around several interests, especially martial arts and poetry, the latter also being my area of academic study for the past six years or so. The other major focus is of course my girlfriend, who I live with for half the week. I’m currently doing a part-time PhD in English Lit, funded by a part-time job in London.
I'm a keen martial artist, and have experience in various styles. However, my main training has been in Zhuan Shu Kuan, a striking style. I finally started BJJ in November 2006, here. You'll find me babbling on various martial art sites, such as Bullshido (mainly the Throwdown section), or on various Facebook groups. Some of my other interests are music, film (like many martial art geeks, I'm especially fond of anime), history, art and travel.
