About me

I’m Sue Chapman and I’ve practised martial arts for over 20 years: karate, jiu jitsu and aikido. Throughout this time I’ve trained with an amazing range of people and together we’ve helped each other improve.

As a teacher, I’ve considered whether there are other ways to share this knowledge. When a friend asked for my opinion on a fight scene she’d written, it gave me the idea for this blog.

If you’re interested in writing about fighting, I hope this will provide a resource for you.

If you’re writing a fight scene and there’s an aspect of fighting you’d like to know more about, contact me. See below for the details.

Contact me. I can’t wait to hear from you!
