Martial Arts history:
I started training in Kajukenbo under Sensei Lee
Byrd at Family Martial Arts Center, Pacifica, California.
After watching Sensei Jeff Price win in Grands at the
2002 Golden Gate Nationals, I decided I would continue
my martial arts training at White Dragons (after moving
to Utah). I am now on Team WDOB and currently
training with Shihan Ron Bennett
and Sensei Mike Tobin.

About me:
I was born in Sydney, Australia in 1987. In
November 2000, I moved to San Francisco, Ca, then in
2002 I moved to Draper, Utah where I am currently residing.
I love most sports and crafts. Shopping is my
next favorite thing to karate. I've been vegetarian
for 5 years.
Thanks to Jaylene and Tina-Marie for everything they
do... and Shihan and Sensei
Mike for being such wonderful
instructors. |
