Philosophy of life: I am proud to say I am a Christian, and God has blessed my family and has given me the gift and love of teaching the martial arts. I believe in working daily on being the best you can be in all areas of life, and giving back to the community and others. Never taking things or especially your family and friends for granted! Enjoy each day and each experience, good or bad. Always try to treat others the way you want to be treated! Train hard but safe as my instructor once said, "we want to train for 30 years, not just 30 minutes!" and last but not least
"RESPECT ALL, FEAR NONE!"
My other blackbelts help in classes as part of their continuing training in earning further rank and because they love giving back!!
