<b><i>My Business:</i></b><i> I build character in children through martial arts by developing good manners, earning respect by giving respect, confidence and obedient behavior. I believe business is about personal relationships and not about money. I am very blessed to be able to impact the lives of children and I love my job. </i>

<b><i>What do the Martial Arts mean to me?</i></b><br> <i>It means I can be kind and sensitive to others because I have nothing to prove and nothing to hide.</i>

<i>It means I am able to protect my loved ones or others who can’t protect themselves.</i>

<i>It means I must live with honor, humility and integrity to uphold the code of a black belt.</i>
