Shaping Confident, Resilient Youth

Years ago, I fell in love with teaching martial arts because I saw how it transformed kids. Shy students became confident, unfocused ones found discipline, and parents told me how their children were thriving at home and school.

With over 20 years of experience and a 6th-degree Black Belt, I’m passionate about helping kids grow—not just as martial artists, but as strong, confident individuals, ready for life’s challenges.

Here’s what I teach:

  • Confidence – Gained through goal-setting and skill mastery.

  • Respect – Learned by honoring instructors and peers.

  • Focus – Strengthened through disciplined training.

  • Perseverance – Built by overcoming challenges.

  • Self-Control – Developed through patience and discipline.

My Philosophy

At Black Belt Beginnings, I teach more than just kicks and punches—I help kids build confidence, discipline, and resilience so they can succeed in life.

Focus & Concentration

Each class balances fun with structure, ensuring students learn essential skills such as focusing their attention while enjoying the process.

Team Work

Respect is a core value at our martial arts school. It helps children learn to give and receive respect, fostering their growth into confident and successful adults.

Respect For Others

One of life's essential skills is teamwork. We believe learning this skill at a young age sets children up for a lifetime of success.
