Martial Arts...Immeasurable Confidence!

Growing up I was very quiet and introverted...because of this I found it very challenging to speak in front of large groups. Although I was very involved in music starting at age 13, it really didn't help with my confidence in larger groups because with music (Piano), I could just hold my head down and play without saying a word. It was mostly studying the Fighting Arts along with my military service (USAF) and Law Enforcement (Retired Sergeant) that helped me to move beyond my insecurities and become very comfortable in larger venues. Confidence was paramount in my chosen profession and my involvement in the martial arts allowed me to function with a high level of poise and productivity that otherwise would not have been possible. Forever grateful to the masters I have trained with over the years!
