Deidre began karate in early 1999 thinking it would be a great way to get fit. She soon realised that she needed to get fit to do karate and was hooked. In June 2003 Deidre got her black belt and progressed from there to 3rd degree black belt.

 

Deidre gets great joy from helping people and seeing them grow in confidence. She also loves seeing people succeed on their Karate journey even when they may have initially lacked self confidence. 

 

In her spare time she loves going to the gym and pushing herself to try new things. Deidre has participated in Tough Guy and Girl and also an 18k Tough Mudder event.
