Miss Physical Arts, Nadia is known to train more than is humanly possible leaving other members of the club to ponder whether or not she is in fact a terminator sent from the future to wear us all out. The three times British Champion went straight into the deep end in her usual style at the European Championships last October, taking on the present European and World champion from Hungary. Nadia gave as good as she got although the World Champion's experience eventually won through. In October 2001 Nadia improved on her perfomance at the Europeans by competing at the World Championships in Slovenia - also taking part in this event from Physical Arts were Orson Nava and David Underwood along with Sensei Dwyer Evelyn, the British light continuous team coach.

When she's not training hard Nadia is putting the final touches on the dissertation for her Phd in psychology, and if that's not enough then any spare time she manages to find is spent bending herself into all sorts of interesting positions in yoga or spinning on her head in capoeria. This former aerobics champion is truly a physical artist... if you see her out clubbing you'll know what we mean!!
