Welcome to my world! I'm Ali—an international fencer, a cycling enthusiast, a keen traveller, and a passionate educator. Here, I'd like to share a bit more about myself and my journey.
International Fencer: My fencing journey is a testament to the incredible sport of fencing. It's a captivating world where dreams take flight, friendships are forged, and rivalries are made. Fencing is like a physical version of chess, where you and your opponent engage in a strategic battle, each move perfected through practice with teammates, coaches, and rivals. My personal fencing journey began in 2015 during my university days. Prior to that, I had a background in middle-distance running with some success. Since then, I've immersed myself in this remarkable sport, traveling the world for training and competitions, fuelled by an unwavering passion. The sports hall has become my second home—a place where the rhythmic sounds of blades clashing and the fierce determination to win blend together. It's a world where every moment is packed with the electrifying thrill of fencing.
Cycling Enthusiast: In addition to my love for fencing, I'm also a dedicated cycling enthusiast, embracing the freedom and adventure that comes with cycling. Despite starting this hobby relatively late, at the age of 18, it has become an integral part of my life. I've embarked on thrilling journeys, including a memorable coast-to-coast ride (NC 500) across the breath-taking landscapes of Scotland.
Indoor Bouldering: More recently, I've explored the world of indoor bouldering—a challenging form of climbing that tests both physical and mental limits. Bouldering is characterized by small rock formations or artificial walls, requiring climbing shoes and chalk for secure footholds. This exhilarating activity keeps me on my toes and pushes me to new heights.
