“I found KMD through a friend when I was in high school. My first class was with instructor Sheila and I had a ton of fun. It was tough and I was very out of shape but I was always the smallest guy, shy, meek, always last pick. I wanted to prove to myself that I could be more than I was. So I trained. The first 2 years were hard. Physically, I was below average at best. Emotionally, I was weak and folded easily. Mentally, I wanted to be a warrior. Not just in krav but in all facets of my life. I wanted to have the confidence to make meaningful decisions and live true to myself. I wasn’t satisfied with myself after my lvl1 test. It wasn’t until lvl2 that my confidence grew and it showed in my professional career and my overall demeanor. I felt so good about my achievements that I wanted everyone to know that they too could forge themselves into a warrior. When I got invited to become a candidate for teaching, I was honored that someone like me would even be considered. I worked hard in between school, work, and regular training to meet the standard. I try to show it through my teaching and actions, especially now as I prepare for my black belt test, that anybody can do it. So that one may walk in peace.”
