Holly Flanders
1st Dan / L2 Coach / 1st Aider
Holly started training at the ripe old age of eleven. She has a habit of bursting into song randomly outside of training and if you're lucky she might do requests.
She writes, she sings, she hugs bunnies and she wants to save the planet one species at the time.
