This week the Motivated Martial Artists Jackson White and Gavin Cook talk to Three-Time world Champion and club owner Hazel Bracken. 

Hazels martial arts journey started in karate at the age of 5 and lasted until she was 15 but she found karate wasn't for her, it was 6 years later at the age of 21 that she found her true love for martial arts in finland on a work placement looking at prostate cancers when she found a taekwondo club, after it being recommended to her at christmas party, she stayed with the finish taekwondo club until she was a yellow belt and carried on training when she came back home to scotland and still does to this day!

One inspirational story hazel tells is when she won her won her third World Championship title. Just three weeks before the championships Hazel felt a sharp pain in her foot, but thought nothing of it. A week later, she felt the foot getting worse so had it checked out, only to find out her World Championship aspirations were in jeopardy as she’d broken a foot bone. Despite strong warning from her doctor not to take part, Hazel decided to head to Birmingham to fight in the World Championships and won her third world championship title against all odds.
