A martial artist's journey never ends. It may pause, it may change direction, but even when beginning again, you are still moving forward.
​
Movement is key. Any movement. Just show up. The rest will eventually fall into place when it is your passion and part of who you are.

Who knew that martial arts would sneak into my life at 42 years old, grab so tightly & cling to my soul for the past 6 years?? Not me. But here I stand with a 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo.

So my journey continues after departing the school I trained at for the past 3 years.
For about a month I wandered like a lost child, not sure where I fit in. I met many people, walked through many school doors and after much reflection and many conversations with mentors, masters and peers, I have set new goals and put them in motion.

🥋I'll be training and assisting with the kids mixed martial arts classes at Dynamic Martial Arts.
🥋I'll officially start training in Hapkido as a white belt at Northwest Hapkido.
🥋I'll be coaching kids martial arts inspired classes at Nest Playground
🥋I'll continue to grow my Martialista brand
🥋I'll continue to stay involved in martial arts events like local and national hanmadangs, tournaments and expos.

And who know what else my future holds!! New schools, new instructors, new teammates, new experiences and new places to put myself out there.
I will continue to always be a beginner and to share what I know and my love of martial arts.

A new chapter begins.

Kick. Punch. Love.

Martialista in Maui!

Alooooo-ha!
I just got back from a wonderful vacation in beautiful Maui. Sigh.

Sometimes you just need to get away, take some time for yourself, enjoy nature in all it's glory and hit that reset button.

I usually practice at home and train wherever I go, but I have to say, for probably the first time ever, I did not train for the week!
I know, I know, all those picture perfect opportunities of practicing my forms in the sand with palm trees swaying in the background or kicking the waves in the ocean like Daniel did with Mr. Miyagi in "The Karate Kid" come to mind. 
But instead of thinking about the new curriculum I had to learn, all the new names and faces I had to memorize, or the lesson plans I had to create, I just relaxed!
​I ate, swam, hiked, snorkeled, ate some more and just soaked in all Maui had to offer with no stress of the mainland on my mind at all. Yup, I hit the reset button HARD and I have no regrets ;)

But now I'm back and ready to start my new journey!
New schools, new experiences and SO MUCH new stuff to learn quickly.
Let's do it!
