My name is Christina and I am the head coach at Team Queen. I started my Martial Arts journey when I was 6 years old in Wado-Ryu Karate; as I got older I decided to start training K1 and boxing, that’s when I found Nam Yang Brighton. I am also an instructor at Nam Yang Brighton and during my time there I have competed and gained years of experience which you can see below.

2018 National Savate British Championships and two national titles in separate weight categories at BCCMA Sanda Championship in 2022. Silver medalist CKA World Championships 2024 (Muay Thai) and before my time at Nam Yang Multiple junior fights including Gold at Crystal Palace International Open 2001(Karate).

I believe helping skills are important to have whilst running a community club which is why I studied counselling previously at Varndean College where I achieved my Level 2 qualification. This course helped me learn skills to further support our community.

Personal Training

In my private sessions I can offer you strength and conditioning and K1/ Muay Thai training.

I have 10+ years experience training in Martial Arts including, Karate, Boxing, Muay Thai, Sanda Kickboxing, K1 Kickboxing, and Savate Kickboxing - I am also a Level 3 Personal Trainer with a passion for S&C for combat sports.

I have competed in the UK, France, Ireland and Italy and have trained in Thailand. I try my best to explore different martial arts and learn new techniques so I can learn and adapt my own style.

Please email teamqueenuk@gmail.com if you are interested in booking any private training.

A little about me

I live in Hove with my partner and two cats, my family are Cypriot but I grew up in London and moving here was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I used to want to be a musician and I still am passionate about music but my passion for Muay Thai took over and I am super grateful that I get to do this as a job.
