Jill began training in April 1985 (at a very early age) and was very quickly introduced into competitions, both in the TAGB and on the “Free style” circuit. Between 1986 and 1999 she won over 65 titles in Domestic and European events. After gaining fifth degree in April 2003 she came out of retirement to win the Ladies Executive Patterns title at the English Championships in 2003 with pattern So-San.

Now well and truly retired she concentrates on supporting the TAGB at both domestic and international events as a red shirt area manager and a qualified, experienced International referee. Jill has officiated at numerous events, including European and World championships.

Jill teaches five nights a week at clubs in the East Midlands area. During the daytime she teaches in schools, workshops and long-term self-defence courses. She is regularly called upon to talk and give advice to groups, in commerce, media, clubs and societies throughout the U.K.
