Hakim, originally from the UK and now based in Los Angeles, is a multifaceted practitioner blending martial arts, mindfulness, and wellness. After an injury in the 1990s led him to acupuncture and herbal medicine, he embraced a holistic lifestyle rooted in Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Eastern bodywork. Over the years, he’s expanded his passions to include trail running, Japanese calligraphy, and modeling for major brands like Nike and Adidas. As a Buddhist Dharma practitioner and radio host, Hakim uses his diverse practices to promote mindfulness, community healing, and social justice.
