This past Monday we hosted my instructor, Professor Shawn Williams, for a seminar at the academy. It was a great chance for our students to learn high-level, current techniques from someone who’s been around the sport at the highest levels.
For me, it also meant a lot to have the opportunity to learn again from the person who played a big role in inspiring me to teach. I believe it’s important to respect your lineage and appreciate the people who helped shape your path.
Great seminar, and I was also honored to receive my 3rd degree on my black belt. 🙏🏾
