I have been taking Karate since I was 10 years old and have been an instructor for half that time. I earned my junior black belt in May 2013 and my 1st degree black belt in june 2018. I am planning on going to Ireland in 2020 to test for my 2nd degree black belt in front of an international panel of judges. In the photo you can see myself, two other instructors and a student who just earned his black belt.
