I have trained kids from 4 years old daily, to adults 70 years or older! I have done group classes to personal one on one. From them I was able to go on to teach myself through the same time and help others. I have had to main instructors whom are masters in their martial arts. From there, I went on to train and teach, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, boxing, MMA, as well as coach as a personal trainer. Forever grateful to be able to fully emerge into my favorite hobby. My start was with Tae Kwon Do, for years, training, teaching, ranking. To start, obviously my back ground in martial arts starts when I was just a child. Enough to do the moves efficiently at the very least! Then kickboxing is the perfect in between and easy for everyone to learn pretty quickly.
