About Me

[edit]

My name is Can. 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: I teach at Artemis BJJ in Bristol. The other major focus is of course my girlfriend.

I'm a keen martial artist, and have experience in various styles. From 1999-2006, my main training was in Zhuan Shu Kuan, a striking style. I finally started BJJ in November 2006, here, receiving my blue belt in February 2008, then my purple belt from Roger Gracie in March 2011. You'll find me babbling on various martial art sites, especially slideyfoot.com. Some of my other interests are music, film (like many martial art geeks, I'm especially fond of anime), history, art and travel.

Seems everyone sticks one of these on their profile, so I might as well too.
