		<description>Number 165 on my Toplist! Just wanted to thank you for joining and also encourage you to keep kicking!

I set a goal of achieving 1st dan before I turned 40. I achieved it just one month shy of my 41st birthday. 

:)

		<description>I am lucky because my husband and I are both practitioners of Okinawa Kenpo.  My husband was a brown belt training for black belt testing when I started.  He made sure that I had the opportunity to make karate my own.  I like to say...we train parallel.  We have the same instructor but have found our own paths.</description>
