Hi!

I’m Gonca Jane Denizmen. I’m originally from Turkey, and lived most of my adult life in Vancouver, Canada. I’m an active outdoor enthusiast since childhood. I’ve been studying qigong, martial arts, and meditation since 2001.

Background

Martial arts (intermittently since 2003)

• Wushu, Sanshau, Tai Chi, and Xingyi at Shou-Yu Liang Wushu Taiji Qigong Institute (2006-2007, 2011-2013)
• Shaolin Kung Fu with Rene J. Navarro (intermittently between 2004-2007)
• Judo at Law Enforcement Judo Association (2012-2015, 2017-present)
• Aikido with Mustafa Aygun – United Aikido Organization (2016)

Qigong and meditation (intermittently since 2001)

• Xing Shen Zhuang Fa (as demonstrated by Anna Vladimirova of Wu Ming Dao)
• Various meditation techniques including breath, mindfulness, mantras, visualizations

Dance (some professional experience and mostly hobby)

Hobbies include outdoor activities in nature (especially hiking, swimming, cycling, camping, canoeing, and climbing), dance, photography / photo manipulation, reading (non-fiction), learning (yup, it’s a hobby), and travelling.

I’m also experienced in web design and development, and like playing computer games, in addition to my fitness enthusiasm and experience.

Some of the TV commercials and other acting/modeling work include Kebir commercial (2015), Orkid commercial, Rozi commercial (2007), Fanta Light commercial, Demir Demirkan – Zaferlerim music video clip (2004), Istikbal furniture (2006), and more.
