Instructors

“I teach Martial Arts because I learn how to help others improve themselves—in Martial Arts or in anything else.”

“Teaching has been a great way to improve myself. By helping the students grow mentally and physically, I grow alongside them.”

“Martial Arts has been a great benefit for me. It’s helped me physically, but it’s really done a lot for my confidence. I like being able to help the students receive the same thing from this experience that I have.”

“I teach Martial Arts because I enjoy making someone’s day a little brighter. My favorite part is the rush I get when I teach someone a new technique, because I know how much I loved getting new material when I started with the school. Most of all, teaching is just plain fun.”

“Martial arts has done a lot for me in my life. A big part of that benefit has been all the great instructors I’ve been able to learn from. I want to do my best to continue that tradition and provide the same great benefits to a new generation of students.”

“Martial arts helped teach me how important it is to keep going, to keep working, to keep getting better. And I love helping my students realize that there is a black belt in them already. Helping them see that it’s really them that makes them a black belt. I mean, remember that guy who gave up? Neither does anyone else. You can do anything if you work hard enough, I want my students to really know that, really feel that, and believe it of themselves. Also, impatience is futile.”

“I love watching my students progress. And I love how much I get to learn from them and from their journey. Even now that I’m in college, every chance I get to come back and work with students is so much fun.”

“I teach Martial Arts because seeing my students progress makes me feel like I’ve contributed to something important.”

“I teach Martial Arts because I enjoy helping students become confident in themselves. I like setting a good example and the responsibility that comes with that.”
