From her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and subsequent research as a scientist in an internationally known Bio-tech company, to a top ranking Sports Chiropractor and Acupuncturist, leading into an influential results oriented athletic performance instructor.

Throughout these pursuits, the one common thread that linked everything together is her love for Martial arts, which she believes hold the most important keys to unlock the Bio-Mechanical potential of the human body. Thousands of years of field-tested refinement in many martial arts systems, combined with modern day evidence based scientific research, have already and will decipher further more about the upmost efficiency system of the human body! It is this precise reason that drew Dawn into Combat Systema – the field-tested and evidence-based, no-nonsense yet open-minded, highly effective martial arts system.

A marathon runner herself and an expert in Bio-Mechanics, Dawn has used many biomechanically based training methodologies derived from martial arts to help her distance runners to achieve incredible improvements on their performances!
