I started my training when I was around 16 yrs of age. It was shortly after having a dream of working with young people through Martial Arts. It was such a powerful dream that I got up and wrote it down in the middle of the night and woke up my father at 2 am and told him what had happened. That dream shaped my life from that point on. I started on a journey of Martial Arts training with the goal of working with young people through the Martial Arts. I received my Black Belt and then had the privilege of testing under the very man who brought TKD to the United States and received a fourth degree black belt under Mr. Hwang!
I have been taking martial arts with Mr. Steve Morris for the last ten years of my life. Through his mentorship and training, I have developed a passion and love for teaching martial arts and working with kids. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to teach, train, mentor, and be an example to our students. It is so exciting for me to witness the change in the lives of others as a result of my influence. In my training at TMMA, I gained much experience and skill in martial arts. More importantly, however, I gained endurance, strength, respect, leadership skills, vision, and a desire to serve. It is such a joy and privilege for me to have the opportunity to impact every person in our school (and beyond). My goals include becoming the best martial artists I can be (regardless of my rank), to continue learning better ways to teach, positively influence our students, and impact the community in great ways using martial arts. I am grateful for my past training under Mr. Morris and am looking forward to an exciting future with The Master's Martial Arts!
