Interview by Lakhvinder S. Madahar
Sheree Halliday – a British, European and World Muay Thai Champion and you'd be forgiven if you have never heard of her. I believe out of choice, she has never had the champion's media coverage, Sheree just gets on with business by winning the titles that comes her way!
I've known Sheree for about five years; since she assisted a seminar with Tony Myers at our Total Martial Arts Academy in Coventry. Since then she has been a welcome visitor at our academy, then last year after a training session with Pindi Madahar I asked her for an interview, although she agreed but nothing happened. Until she was offered a shot at the I.S.K.A. World title earlier this year, perhaps she is a bit too modest, whatever the reason I'm glad in the end it happened and since then she has won the title fight and is now the new I.S.K.A. World Champion!
Lucky Madahar: Hi Sheree, congratulation on becoming the new World champion, can you tell the readers of Martial arts Illustrated which title bet have you won and what it means to you and why?
Sheree Halliday: I have won the I.S.K.A 60kg world title. The fight meant everything to me! I've been involved in Muay Thai for nearly 12 years now. I have fought around the world and have fought some top opponents I feel it's my turn to show I deserve to fight and win this world title, to show I am up there with the best girls in the UK.
Lucky Madahar: You have previously won several title belts and have fought internationally. Can you tell the readers of MAI what other titles you have won, when & where did the fights take place?
Sheree Halliday: In 2006 I won the bronze medal in the I.F.M.A Championships in Bangkok, over 80 countries competed, it was a great experience to be a part of it.
The first title I won was the 'The I.S.K.A English title' beating Zoe Mason from Touchgloves in Cornwall.
After this fight I went off to Bangkok to train at W.P.T gym to train with Mr ChokeChai Channa Krutsuwan (Full interview in MAI Oct 2001), having won this title I wanted to proceed further. I returned in March 2008 and went onto win the 'W.P.K.L British title' beating Bonny Oortmerson from Snipers gym in London.
I also hold the I.K.F European title beating Mariella Kruse from Holland.
My latest victory was winning the I.S.K.A World title beating Elsa Hemet from France with a round 3 TKO via knees.
For three of these title fights I was lucky enough to fight in my home town of Woking, Surrey, UK. The venue was "The HG Wells Suite" In August 2007 I won the I.S.K.A English title.
I went on to win the W.P.K.L British title on the 18th May 2008 and then the same year on the 7th December 2008 I won the I.K.F European title.
The new belt to add to my collection is the I.S.K.A world title; the show took place at Scala Nightclub in London on the 10th March 2013.
Lucky Madahar: Can you tell us a little more about you're your fights abroad?
I've been lucky enough to have had the chance to travel a little and fight abroad, which is always great. I've fought in Holland twice. The last time I fought there I had weight to still cut when I arrived so I had to visit the sauna. It wasn't a typical type of sauna we have here in the UK. I was a little concerned when I walked into the changing room and realised it was a communal one. To my surprise it was a nudist sauna, the robe stayed on, I had weight to loose!! Randomly I was introduced to her dad at the sauna, he visited every Friday! I fought a tough opponent called Maria; she was like the local celebrity. The children all had similar hair cuts and everyone had T- shirts with her on them, she had a great crowd behind her but I was welcomed.
In Sweden I remember it being extremely cold. When I fought the crowd didn't welcome me very much I got a big boo!! It just made me smile!
When I fought in Los Angeles I was lucky to have stayed with amazing people. P'Pooh was a legend, great hospitality I was very well looked after. I fought a girl called Roxy Balboa. I remember after the 2nd round of the fight saying to my corner man "I think my eye is swelling" they were ironing it and saying "no its fine!" After the fight I went to get changed in the toilets, came out to wash my hands, looked up and looking back at me, was not the girl that I recognised! Bruises heal though right?!
I have so many crazy memories of fighting in Thailand. I've fought in random places, like in the middle of a field! At a festival on TV I remember my 2nd fight in Bangkok I won the fight and at the end I was given my prize money and a big cardboard box. I was so excited I waited till I got back to the gym to open it. To my surprise it was a box of instant noodles!! Not what I was expecting.
Lucky Madahar: When did you have your first Muay Thai fight?
Sheree Halliday: My first fight was on a show in Guildford at a leisure centre called The Spectrum in 2002. I remember being really nervous. I got to the venue and as it was a C class fight I had to weigh in on the day. I ended up weighing in too light and my opponent didn't show. There was another girl from my gym who ended up weighing slightly over the weight she was meant to be so I was asked to fight her opponent; it was very daunting as this girl had quite a lot of experience. I agreed and did loose but was still a great first fight.
Lucky Madahar: Was the first fight experience harder to deal with, then your later fights?
Sheree Halliday: It was hard as I wasn't really too sure how it would feel to fight in front of a crowd, against someone you don't know anything about so yes I was nervous but I don't think my
first fight experience was harder than other fights. The more fights you have, the more pressure you feel, the better your opponents become and the hunger to want to perform grows. Nerves I think
will always be there for as long as I fight. Nerves are good you just have to know how to work with them and how to deal with them otherwise they can get the better of you.
Lucky Madahar: How many fights have you had?
Sheree Halliday: I've had a total of 28 fights, with 19 wins, 8 losses and 1 draw. Five of the wins by Knock Outs; 2 by technical knock out and in addition to the above I had four amateur fights
resulted in three wins and one loss!
Lucky Madahar: which fight were the toughest and the most memorable for you?
Sheree Halliday: My toughest fight I would say was when I fought in LA against Roxy Balboa. Before you fight you undergo a day of medical tests which was quite draining in itself I fought A class and the fight was 5 rounds, 3 minutes a round with 1 minute rest. The fight was non stop from the start of the bell. A five rounds of war. Roxy was very fit and kept coming forward constantly. I had to be clever and move instead of stand in her way as she had a good straight right hand on her.
Lucky Madahar: Losing a fight is never a great experience and it is said you learn more from a loss then a win, do you agree with this?
Sheree Halliday: Yes I have lost and it's not nice, I've lost 8 times. Every time; just as heart breaking as the time before. It's hard loosing a fight, you feel like you've let everyone down,
your instructors, your family and friends, everyone who supports you but when the wounds heal, you can look back and see where you went wrong, what you need to work on and be more positive about it.
I wouldn't say you learn more, but I guess that is up to the individual fighter. I learn both from wins and losses learn what my strengths are and what my weaknesses are and work at it to succeed in
the next fight.
Lucky Madahar: Who are your instructors/trainers?
Sheree Halliday: I am very lucky to have three great trainers behind me. I train at 3 different gyms
Alan Keddle at Keddles Gym, Orpington, Kent, Phillip Tieu at Team Tieu Gym, London and Omar Beluch at Fit To Fight, Weybridge, Surrey.
Lucky Madahar: Why did you choose to train at other gyms?
Sheree Halliday: The main reason was as I was re-locating. I chose the best gyms available within a commutable distance to help me gain my full potential.
Lucky Madahar: When did you begin training in Muay Thai and what got you into the martial arts?
Sheree Halliday: I began training in Muay Thai just before my 19th birthday. It has now been a part of my life for 11 years!! I was always a fit and active youth, a member of all school sports teams and also competed for Woking Athletics Club. My younger brother had been participating in a Karate class at the local leisure centre where I live. Whilst waiting for him one day I was browsing the marital arts timetable and noticed "Thai Boxing" I had no idea what it was. I stood watching through a door for a few weeks, before encouraging a friend to come and try it! I loved it and she hated it! I never thought I'd be any good at it but stuck at it and amazed I am still doing it 11 years later!
Lucky Madahar: Have you trained in any other martial arts?
Sheree Halliday: No only Muay Thai found it, loved it and never tried anything else.
Lucky Madahar: I know you trained in Thailand extensively with Master Chokechaichana Krutsuwan (Pimu), how has this training helped you? Did you train in any other camps while you were in Thailand?
Sheree Halliday: I trained in Chaing Mai for some time before going to Bangkok. At that time the gym I trained at was called Siam no1 it was the gym Nong Toom trained at and fought for. I trained with a lovely man called Kru Doh.
When arriving in Bangkok Pimu took me under his wing and we developed a father / daughter relationship Pimu is a wonderful trainer and an inspirational man. I learnt so much from him. When I first arrived there it was very daunting, I was the only foreigner and the only female. When I began training it was like starting a whole new marital art, I began right from the start all over again. Pimu had me literally walking back and fourth in stance for the first few days. I learnt so much by training at W.P.T Gym, I learnt technique, timing, foot work and most importantly to have a big heart.
Lucky Madahar: What do you do for a living?
Sheree Halliday: At present I am Nanning for twin boys quite a contrast! The family are great and very flexible when it comes to fights and training.
Lucky Madahar: You're also a model, fighting and modelling doesn't really mix, how have you juggled the two?
Sheree Halliday: I haven't modelled for a while. The last time I did I rocked up with a black eye!! It took quite a bit of makeup to get it covered! So I wasn't in the good books!
Lucky Madahar: Have you ever had to use your Muay Thai skills out side of the ring?
Sheree Halliday: Luckily I have never had to. A friend of mine also a female fighter I know has had to, I think it gave the guy quite a shock when he took a right hand off of her, still not a nice situation to be in!
Lucky Madahar: Do you have any favourite fighters in Thailand?
Sheree Halliday: There a lot of fighters I admire watching in Thailand. Some of the young lads I train with at W.P.T are amazing to watch and great watching them develop over the years. But I'm sure like a lot of others my favourite has to be Saenchai. Saenchai is amazing to watch, such grace about him as he enters the ring. I remember the 1st time I saw him fight in Lumpinee I was mesmerised. It was like being at a ballet so beautiful to watch. Everything from the sound of the kicks landing, the precision of everything thrown and the atmosphere was electric. I love his little stunts he does like his famous cart wheel kick and the foot shuffle. My most favourite thing that I see in Thailand when I watch fights is the respect they have for one another. If one of the things I love most about the sport.
Lucky Madahar: Who would you say are the current 'cream of the crop' in Muay Thai fighters (male & female) in the UK?
Sheree Halliday: Female - Iman Barlow / Ruth Ashdown / Amanda Kelly
Male - Dean James / Jordan Watson / Andy Howson
Lucky Madahar: What specialties do the above fighters have?
Sheree Halliday: Amanda Kelly has great Thai style and technique; she's strong and likes to walk forward, great in the clinch. Amanda reminds me of another favourite fighter of mine who I had pleasure of sharing the ring with Sarah McCarthy from Bad Company, Leeds.
Ruth Ashdown I would say is up there with the best. I have watched Ruth get better by the year; I have trained with her and also accompanied her to Australia where she won her I.S.K.A World title. Ruth is strong, great with her hands, likes to walk forward and attack.
Iman Barlow in my opinion is an all round talented fighter, such a young talent and already a superstar. I've watched a few of her fights and love her style. Beautiful style, great technique Iman is able to walk her opponent down and use great timing to land kicks, punches and knees.
Dean James is amazing to watch he shows great precision with everything he lands. Kicks always well timed and knees are lethal! I don't miss getting hit by Dean in training!
Andy Howson likes to war great to watch! Great hands, tough fighter with a walk forward style.
Jordan Watson always exciting to watch, Jordan is a very clever and talented fighter. Great technique, he's fought some top opponents.
Lucky Madahar: Thank you Sheree for a very informative interview, I wish you all the success in life and your fight career.
Sheree Halliday: You're welcome!

Academy Award nominations won't be announced until Jan. 24, but until then we've got the nods for the British version of the Oscars — the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards — to tide us over.
Leading the way with 12 nominations was Oscar front-runner The Artist with 12 nominations, followed closely by the Brit thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with 11.
Though that latter film has been largely overlooked in Stateside awards, its inclusion here isn't surprising considering it's an English film. Also unsurprising are the nominations for best actor, which include usual suspects George Clooney (The Descendants), Brad Pitt (Moneyball), Jean Dujardin (The Artist) and Michael Fassbender (Shame), as well as Tinker Tailor's Gary Oldman.
A bit more unexpected were the nominees in the best picture category. In addition to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the Ryan Gosling-headlined Drive also received a nod for best picture — while awards season stalwarts such as Martin Scorsese's Hugo and Steven Spielberg's War Horse were snubbed.
In fact, War Horse was shut out of all the major categories (though it did receive five "craft" nominations). Luckily, as you may have guessed, the BAFTA's aren't exactly a precise bellwether for the Oscars.

The Lagos State Ministry of Health said it has confirmed 181 positive cases of coronavirus in a private boarding school in Lekki, Lagos.
This was contained in a statement released by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Health, Tunbosun Ogunbanwo.
Disclosing the infection, the Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, said a surveillance and case investigation in the school revealed the infection.
Mr Abayomi said a 14-year-old SS1 female student fell ill on October 3 and was sent home after receiving first aid at the school. He added that the student subsequently tested positive for COVID-19 on October 6 in one of the accredited private labs in Lagos.
A total number of 181 students and staff have been confirmed positive for the infection and they are all asymptomatic.
Mr Abayomi said the school authorities, the State Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education are following the COVID-19 guidelines as set out by the government in curtailing the spread of the virus.
"I am pleased to announce that all the infected students are predominantly asymptomatic while some have very mild symptoms, no student has required hospitalization.
"There is a total lockdown and movement restriction in the school with the Epidemiology and Surveillance Pillar of the EOC and Ibeju-Lekki LGA State Disease Surveillance and Notification Officer (DSNO) reporting at the school daily to conduct further investigation while positive students and staff have been isolated on the premises and given the COVID-19 home-care treatment packs and are being monitored in isolation within the school premises.
"Students are to be isolated in the School premises and if unwell will be admitted in one of the accredited isolation centers in Lagos. Students are discouraged from going home to avoid infecting members of their families," Mr Abayomi said.
The ministry added that members of the Emergency Operation Center and officials in the Ministry of Education have been deployed to the school to provide strategic interventions and support to the school.
Citizens are encouraged to practice good personal and environmental hygiene, use of face mask in public places, proper hand washing of hands among others.
The commissioner stressed that physical distancing will help prevent the spread of the infection.
"COVID-19 is still very much with us and we must strive to prioritize the safety of all, including students and teachers, by adhering strictly to prevention protocols and guidelines issued by government to prevent its spread," Mr Abayomi said.
The total number of COVID-19 infections recorded in Lagos State rose to 19,842 as of October 8, out of the 119, 115 tests that have been conducted, the commissioner said.

Heading home...
I feel like running out to eat all i can... from nandos, to T.G.I Friday, to Mcdonalds, KFC, Italian and Chinese and just everything. I would miss my junk fix, as much as i look forward to mortal pounded yam.
I look forward to getting rid of the layers and going out without coats and scarfs, I'm excited about wearing flip flops and baring my legs, and wearing light dresses without stockings and tights.
I would miss my nieces, I miss them already, and i just kissed them goodnight, don't want to think about how it'll be tomorrow when i give that last lingering hug before heading to the airport. I hate saying goodbye. It sucks!
I'm thankful for God's grace in the last couple of months, he's sustained me and strengthened me and helped me in my work. I am excited for me. It's going to be a great year indeed.

Los Angeles - September 4, 2013 - Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll said Tuesday he is OK to participate in training camp after having a seizure in early July.
"I feel fine. I feel a hundred percent. That's not an issue," Stoll told LA Kings Insider. "I think it's more of an issue if people talk about it, and it's just one of those things that happened that I wish didn't, but it did.
"I'm just moving on looking forward to the start of the season. Medically cleared, all those things, had great doctors take care of me in terms of getting ready for camp and being cleared for play. So that's all taken care of."
Stoll was hospitalized after having the seizure at home on July 3. A cause has not been publicly disclosed.
Stoll missed six games in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a concussion he sustained on a hit by San Jose Sharks forward Raffi Torres in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Stoll returned for Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Chicago Blackhawks and played all five games in that series.
The Kings open training camp Sept. 12.
"I think just [looking forward to] getting in that game shape, getting in that flow," Stoll told the website. "Playing games too; getting into some exhibition games, which will be huge. I wish the start of the season was here already. It's one of those feelings that I think everybody's feeling, and we're all excited and pumped up. We have a great team, like I said, again. So you can't wait to start camp and get on the ice and do our hard, tough skates at the end. That all builds a lot of character, builds a lot of things within your team …"

Some thoughts on why the transcendent is crucial to understanding religion, and its implications for the 'God' debate, theology and more.
God's essence is supposed to guarantee his existence — what this really means is that what is at issue here is not the existence of something.
Couldn't one actually say equally well that the essence of colour guarantees its existence? As opposed, say, to white elephants. Because all that really means is: I cannot explain what 'colour' is, what the word 'colour' means, except with the help of a colour sample. So in this case there is no such thing as explaining 'what it would be like if colours were to exist' — Wittgenstein
God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I am has sent me to you.' — Exodus 3, 14
The basic problem
The Wittgenstein and Exodus quotations above very interesting. They say that God is self-defining — 'I am who I am' — and cannot be defined in terms of other phenomena. Wittgenstein gives the example of colour; any description or attempt to convey the colour 'red' will require the colour itself.
Insofar as experience of God is transcendental and is fundamentally different from experiences we normally have (e.g. colour, sight, smell, ideas) we have a language issue. We learn words and their meanings from them being out there in a world which is common to us. Yet when someone talks about God, if they have 'experienced' him then someone who lacks that reference point will not be able to understand. This raises two problems:
1. It's not accessible to people who haven't experienced it. Arguments dependent on that reference point will be non-verifiable for these people.
2. It is impossible to know people mean the same thing. If I disagree with you about redness, we resolve that difficulty by pointing to the same object in the world. But the transcendental lacks this shared reference point and the language to describe it. Two people who have experienced the 'same' transcendental experience would be unable to know if they had actually had the same transcendental experience. (i.e. multiple transcendental experiences would imply even theologians could not be sure they were referring to the same thing)
This leads to my trouble with talk about the transcendental: 1 and 2 imply that no-one can talk to someone else about the transcendental and know they are talking about the same thing.
First implication: belief is not a choice
This leads to the most important theological consideration. As we have defined God, it is not possible to understand except through experience. Those who lack the transcendental experiences cannot believe in God. This seems to remove the free will aspect out of unbelief?
Implications for the 'God' debate
If God is a concept impossible to capture in earthly terms and language, the whole idea of a 'God' debate is bizarre. Those arguing against it wouldn't know what they are really arguing against. (If we agree with Wittgenstein, then this would be akin to a blind man arguing about colour).
The flip side is that this creates a wall of convenience. If someone had merely persuaded themselves that they had had a transcendental experience, they could hind behind the convenient barrier that no-one else could prove them wrong.
God and probability
Another interesting implication is that concepts of probability — dependent upon counterfactuals and the possibility of other outcomes — become meaningless. You couldn't 'suppose' red didn't exist as it isn't a valid counterfactual (because the word/concept red implies the concept being there). Yet arguments such as the fine-tuning argument seem to rely on probabilities. The argument runs that it is unlikely that the physical constants could have turned out so well-tuned, so it is more likely God exists than it came out be chance. The probability theory required to make this argument requires the counter factual of God not existing.
Fourth implication — God's existence as a syllogism?
From an atheist perspective, this talk of transcendence is nonsense. The definition of God for them is no more than God as an anthropological phenomenon (i.e. a set of beliefs and actions by humans). This is clearly different to the self-defining characteristic for a Christian. In other words, a self-defining non-existent thing is a contradiction. Colours self-define, so for them not to exist is a contradiction as 'to not exist' requires the concept, which in turn is reliant on colours' existence.
God is defined anthropologically for the atheist and exists in this sense. God is defined by transcendent experience for the Christian and thus exists.
Remaining questions
1. Even if the experience is necessary for belief in God, does having the experience guarantee belief? Why do some people lose their faith?
2. When an unbeliever writes about theology and makes sense, how is this so? (e.g. I was always fairly convinced by historical accounts re: Jesus etc when younger but think that if I had experienced God I would know esp. as I know many people who say they have experienced God.)
2. Implications for this about human mind? Where is our capacity for experiencing the transcendent coming from?
4. I am not entirely convinced by the Wittgenstein view. The colour analogy aside, you can prove properties and existence of things which you cannot understand, perceive or comprehend. E.g. I can prove the existence of primes larger than any which could be computed using the entire computing power of the universe. (There are theorems which have been proven to have proofs, but the complexity is so great that the universe lacks computational power to find the solution).
5. If a transcendent experience is required to understand God, does that mean a theologian has to recall transcendental experiences every time they think about God for their thinking to have meaning?
This article was written by the Sociable Solipsist, an Economics student at Cambridge. He writes about Philosophy, theology, ethics and the foundations of mathematics and probability. He is not averse to writing flattering biographies of himself in the third person.
