My GrandMaster selected me to become a teacher and take over his original school site which he establised in 1994.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with various students including children with ADD, ADHD as well as handicapped and autistic children.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that any school that you attend will not promise you a black belt. You can only EARN a black belt by the work you do not the amount of time you train. Also, compettions should always be optional and belt test should only be available to you when you are ready. A madated belt test every two month is a big red flag. Parents should always be allowed to watch classes.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
what are you goals? Do you want to learn to compete? Defend yourself? Gain confidence? or just learn something new while getting exercise? Knowing what your goals are help us train you better.
