This has given him a range of perspectives on how empowering and playful learning can be.This quest led him to Meshkah Martial Arts School in Egypt. After spending one year attending classes casually, he joined the 3-year full-time program where he learned different traditional Chinese martial arts and Chinese medicine. Being a student in a traditional martial arts school has deepened and expanded his personal understanding about learning. Currently, Ahmed is teaching martial arts and he enjoys weaving together his experience - as an educator and as a martial arts practitioner- to help support the growth of Nour.
