Martial Arts history:
There were a couple of factors of why I started my martial arts training. The top 3 were to have fun, keep in shape, and to lean some self defense. I remember my instructor talking about developing more discipline, coordination, and self esteem. All I thought was "ya ya whatever." Well since I've begun my martial arts, the things I've learned the most about karate is it's a life changing thing. If you have an open heart and mind, it will help you become a better person. I have learned how to love more, how to teach, how to be a better friend, and overall to be a better person. I've also developed more self discipline and esteem along with patience which help me in my everyday life. If I were to tell you things about martial arts it would be that it's not all about kicks and punches; it's about a mind set, a way of thinking (at all times). This in return makes it a life long learning process.

About me:
I like to dance, run, and visit Yellowstone National Park.
