Genevieve began her Martial Arts training in Shotokan Karate at the age of seven. While dabbling in both Tae-Kwon-Do and Shaolin Kung Fu, Genevieve finally settled on Goju-Ryu Karate in 1993 at the Westminster Karate Club in Central London.

"I have always believed that as a woman there is no point in taking the easy path - Martial arts are about facing and overcoming adversity"
