Hi all.
My name is Paulina, I live in Ireland, I'm 17 and recently took up Karate. I've been doing Tai Chi for a while and I keep educating myself on other styles as well, and just ordered a pair of foam nanchuks to practice as another form of self defense. I found out recently that my grandfather(RIP granddad) had a black belt in karate, so I'm even more motivated to work my way up :)

I also have a slight obsession with animals, wildlife, science, languages and culture, and work in a pet shop, I'm a dog walker and trainer, and speak English, Irish, Polish, Russian, Spanish and once knew a lot of Swahili but lost a lot of it. At the moment I'm learning Mandarin Chinese. It's not as hard as it seems and Tai Chi and Kung Fu are a lot easier to understand for me when I have some knowledge of the language.

I am totally open to any tips you may have for me, learning is something I love to do :D
