I’m Lindsey Hawkes the Simo (Wife of Sifu) of  Sifu Paul Hawkes of The Kung Fu Schools. Thank you for visiting my blog site.

I will be blogging from a woman’s point of view about, martial arts, life as a Simo, events at our Kung Fu Schools (parties, fates, gradings, seminars) etc. I’m dyslexic so there will be spelling mistakes along the way however why should I let this hold me back.

I will let you all know how I find being a mum and all the trials we went through to find the right pushchair! Exercise while your pregnant is hard work so will be letting you all know what I have been doing in detail including any breaks I take. And how I get back into shape once the baby arrives.

Of course I want to show you  how you can still defend yourself (including if you’re pregnant) . I will do some videos on this with the help of my husband Master Paul Hawkes.

I will be posting links to shopping vouchers as these are always useful to everyone so the more that are out there the better.

For those of you that train at The Kung Fu School you will have heard about the “Lindseyisumz” they will also be available here. “Lindseyisumz” are my own explanations of what the Chinese name for the shape this is how I have remembered the system of Wing Chun Kung Fu. Not all of the instructors like them as they say they are “far to girly and nontraditional” however it helped me learn and has helped some of the students at the school and my job as an instructor is to help them learn the system.

I look forward to seeing your comments on the these things so will be posting very soon. I hope you have a great day.
