I started at The American Martial Arts Institute (which was named The Shaolin Wushu/Kung-Fu Institute at the time) in 2004 when I was 7 years old. The family friendly atmosphere and talented instructors made me feel welcome and excited for each class. When I was younger I had difficulties with focusing and sitting still for long periods of time. The dedicated staff provided me with role models that helped teach me discipline. The experiences I have encountered and the teachers I have been privileged to learn from, motivated me to help pass on the schools teachings and help inspire students to be successful.
