“The Martial Arts Muse” Jennifer Thomson Sensei part 1 of 3

To watch this interview: youtu.be/FU6J6nzGO1c

Part 1 of 3: Jennifer Thompson Sensei is a great example of the Multi Disciplined approach to Martial Arts, she gives her thoughts on her journey thus far, people who inspire the journey and her personal approach to partner training. She describes herself as eclectic, which has to some a negative connotation "jack of all trades master of none" but its clear there is a common sense approach and a lot of good old fashioned hard work that goes into making this great martial Artist.
