I enjoy my job of teaching because martial arts is something I am passionate about. I find it satisfying to create fun and engaging classes that advance the skills of my students. I also love that I get to continue my own training and improve my own skills as I teach. Additionally, I enjoy competing in both Karate and Muay Thai to further raise my skills.

I first started karate as a kid at Arashi-Do because I wanted to join my older brother who had joined some time earlier. As I continued training over the years, I became more skilled as well as gaining more confidence in myself. After receiving my black belt I expanded my training to Muay Thai, and I also began teaching classes.
