Instructor
I first started training with the Kanto Sho Karate Club in 2017 when I was 8 years old. I can’t say what it was that made me want to try it out, but I do remember immediately knowing that this was something I wanted to do. Through my training at the dojo, I have been presented with opportunities that I would have never been able to achieve otherwise. The skills and values that were taught to me have extended beyond the world of sports and helped shape my values that apply to what I do in academics and everyday life. The encouragement to improve from the Sensei’s has helped me learn to be motivated and disciplined and I look to share this with future students. Karate has helped me form some of the strongest and longest-lasting relationships I’ve known. I’ve been encouraged to work outside my comfort zone and always seek to improve on myself and with it I carry the lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
