Memorable Moment: Teaching a class for the 1st time, made me feel like I was starting my training all over again. Nervous, Excited, Didn’t want to embarrass myself, the feelings we all may have had when we started training for the 1st time. But I taught some more classes and pretty soon, i had
forgotten all about how scary it was because I found I was really good at it.

Words of Wisdom: Train Hard!!! If you aren't doing more than 1 class each week, train twice as hard in the class that you do get to, so you’ll be twice as good at gradings and tournaments, and you will progress faster than if you just switched onto “Autopilot”, going to class each week and putting in the same amount of effort and expecting BIG results, which rarely ever happens. And remember to enjoy your training..
