So many years ago, I started on a path that would bring me to today, to this place I call my mistress, the one that steals all my time and thoughts. Full Moon Martial Arts. For most this is simply a place to come and train, to have some time away from the pressures of the world and to bond with people of them same interest. Students have come and gone over the years as have teachers and fighters with no true understanding of where they are and what they have.
I grew up so to speak in schools that I called my home and my sanctuary, no matter what the arts never let me down. Sure I have had ups and downs in my years of training and teaching, but the art was always there calling to me.I feel blessed more than not that I have never had a bad Instructor and all have taught me many lessons , in the art as well as in life . I have been Blessed as well for the many students that have also taught me as much as I ever taught them, not only in the arts but about life as well.
It took me many years to understand or at least come to some understanding of what it takes to be the owner of a Martial Arts School. The hours are long, the financial gain works out to very little considering the hours spent concentrating on the many aspects of what must be done. The benefits of doing this can be seen in ways most will see as unprofitable, but for me I have made as much of a difference in people’s lives as they have had on me and my life, they probably never even knew.
For most that walk through my door will have no understanding or care for what it takes to have the privilege to be here and to train with some of the finest Instructors this area has to offer and like most people they will take what they have for granted , but for the ones that get it , the ones who understand thanks for believing in my dream and the arts as I do …………………
