My journey in martial arts began in 1994 when I enrolled my four year-old twin boys to help them with their self-confidence and social skills. I would’ve never believed that I would STILL be training & teaching today with the same level of EXCITEMENT as I did back then! I even left behind a successful corporate career in March 2002 to run my own studio where I can I share my passion for martial arts with my students!
Throughout my career as a martial artist, I was invited to participate in many national and international seminars. These include attending a Masters seminar in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; testing for my 5th Dan in Seoul, South Korea; participating in several workshops in London, England; witnessing my senior instructor’s promotion to Grand Master in Puerto Rico; and testing for my 7th degree ranking as a Deputy Grand Master in Wales, UK, in May 2023!
My next goal will be to achieve 8th Dan Grand Master in 2031! I feel very passionate about teaching my students all that I have learned over the years in order to prepare them mentally and physically to be strong in life! It gives me great pleasure to witness students achieving their smaller goals which lead up to the larger goals like black belt & beyond!
I currently offer classes for children, teens, adults, and families Sunday through Friday at 16 locations.
