Lisa Parkes NINJA / MOTHERWARRIOR TELL US WHERE YOU’RE FROM, AND HOW YOU FOUND YOURSELF IN BYRON? I was born in Winchester England. My Father’s family are Morrocan and my Mum’s side were Spanish gypsies. Not surprisingly I found myself in Byron after years of travelling the world and Australia. I have lived here now for 18 years. WHAT ARE YOUR KEY BUSINESS AND PERSONAL INTERESTS? I own and operate a personal training studio and Ninja Play centre in the industrial estate. My #1 purpose is to help others live healthier lives. I also compete in national and international Ninja Warrior and OCR races, with 4 world titles this year. YOU HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS A "POCKET ROCKET" - WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM? My huge height of 5ft and endless energy! But since finding out last year in the USA what pocket rocket meant, we changed my Ninja name to Motherwarrior. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC? Ministry of Sound for workouts, Latin music on weekends, and some good 80’s disco tracks – Flashdance is a favourite. I also enjoy music with powerful and good lyrics, and Michael Franti has some great ones. COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE – “I LOVE …. my boys, sunrises, stars, sunsets, the ocean and the bush – and I love sharing my knowledge and passion for the beautiful place I call home - Byron Bay. Oh, and the Byron Bazaar!" IF YOU WENT TO A FANCY-DRESS PARTY, WHO WOULD YOU GO AS, AND WHY? A tomb raider. It would be an awesome job, so I would dress as that. BYRON IS RENOWNED FOR ITS WILD TURKEYS - HAVE YOU EVER HAD A BRUSH TURKEY ENCOUNTER? I’ve trained with a few turkeys - big breasted men! And I have chased a few up the lighthouse track and around the pass, where I do a lot of outdoor training. Head over to www.lisaparkes.com to see how you could become a ninja warrior too.
