I've been teaching martial arts since 1987. It has been the most rewarding experience of my life. Even today, the joy I experience on a daily basis is extraordinary. If you watch one of my classes, you'll see I'm a professional. Whether it's the littlest kids (3 - 4 years old) or the adult class, the classes run smooth and everyone is progressing. But it wasn't always that way. I remember being nervous, not knowing how to communicate effectively and going home at night "drained." I've had a lot of amazing role models to follow: my mom Grandmaster Brenda Sell, Dave Kovar, Steve and KC LaVallee and Roland Osborne. In the next few months I will be doing a series on how to become the best martial arts instructor. Why? Selfish, really. :) I want to inspire a new generation of martial arts traininer, teachers and instructors. i'll give you solid tips on how to become an amazing martial arts instructor. Stay tuned!
