About your instructor

 

Hello, I am your Being Like Water Martial Arts instructor.

 

My name is Charlie Fox, I am an English native.

 

Since starting out on my martial journey at the age of 12 I have studied aspects of some 15 or so martial arts, along with healing theory and practice, and spirituality.

 

I believe in an unpretentious approach to martial arts which is not dependant on cultural tradition or ritual. 

 

Those whom I would class as my main martial influences and styles are listed below along with their relevant Lineages and global origin of the art studied. Time spent does not always match with influence.
