Lily has been a "tomboy" all her life. Growing up, she wrestled and boxed with her brothers and enjoyed various sports including skiing, windsurfing & scuba diving. As an adult, Lily has dabbled in various martial arts including Kendo, however, she has been dedicatedly involved with Judo since 1991 and teaching Martial Arts, Self Defense & Personal Safety classes to all ages since 1995. She started doing Mixed Martial Arts in 1999 and began training with SBGI and formed Modern Combatives with Alan and Jude in 2002.

Lily also has been working as a Sports Psychology Consultant and has worked with college athletes and amateur competitors in the past 6 years. Using her expertise as a counselor, she has helped many children/adolescents with their self-esteem, behavioral problems and anger management through Martial Arts. Together with Alan, she has taught Judo & Self Defense classes in the Police Athletic League for many years.
