Martial Arts history:
I first began my martial arts study at the Air Force
Academy in the Physical Education CORE Curriculum.
As my air force career expanded, I suspended my martial
arts studies until finding White Dragons. My Son,
Chase, was friends through
school and scouting with the Parsons and the Ericksons.
The examples set by Sensei Shellie
and Sensei Michele
and their kids encouraged me to resume my studies and
get my son involved at an early age. I am greatly
indebted to so many of the Senseis at White Dragons
for their encouragement, patience, and professionalism
as I press towards my Black Belt goal. Shihan
has assembled an outstanding instructor staff, each
of whom has an exceptional skill at preparing both challenging
and satisfying training, encouraging us through our
"training plateaus", and praising our successes
as we progress. It is a great honor to be associated
with the White Dragons!
