I started training in Tang Soo Do in June of 2009, with my mom randomly finding Elmhurst Tang Soo Do and Masters Michael Inosh*ta and Holly Inosh*ta, coming up on 15 years ago. I had no idea this art would become so special to me; it helped me grow up, find a voice, open my eyes to what I could accomplish with dedication and perseverance. I am humbled and honored to be invited to test for my 4th Degree Black Belt at Master’s Camp this Saturday in Alabama. It is a 3-day process: 3 full days of training with the third day ending in the test.
As I’m reflecting I realize i have to acknowledge I couldn’t have gotten to this point alone. I’d like to thank my parents and family members who supported me from the start, my friends and training partners who always cheer me on, my students who believe in me, my mentors and role models who set examples to strive for, and of course my instructors who taught me everything I know.
Here’s to the next step.
