I wasn't always interested in martial arts - however, I did want to kow some self defense before I left for college. After my younger brother had taken Kenpo Karate for a few months, I took a free class to see what I thought. I decided I liked it, and joined in September of 2004.

It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has given me a lot more confidence and self respect. I also gained a great group of friends, while I 'fell in love' with the art and mastery of Kenpo itself. I greatly enjoy instructing, as well as expanding my own knowledge.

I hope to continue growing in Kenpo for as long as I can. After college, I would like to open my own Karate studio and/or coffeeshop.
