This class is an informative and super engaging course focused on ensuring each student meets their full potential. There is no need to have any previous martial arts experience, as I am here to guide you every step of the way! I am a second-degree black belt (with 22 years of experience) and an Ontario-certified teacher. I combine my educational knowledge from the karate dojo, soccer field (yes, I was a soccer coach, as well!), university, and the classroom, in order to bring every student the most wholesome learning experience. My classes will keep you on your feet, literally! It is an incredibly exciting time. I have a great deal of experience in tutoring and teaching, and look forward to bringing every student a very individualized, authentic, and engaging learning experience! See you in the dojo!

My classes will keep you on your feet (literally)! Also, my classes focus on having important discussions regarding techniques, self-defence, and when it is appropriate to use these moves. I always encourage students to ask me questions, it is a very integral part of learning!

We will begin our class with stretching, carry forth to a fun-filled karate lesson, and then end with cool down stretches. Each class, we will focus on new concepts, so you can ensure that your learner will always walk away learning more and more. This class has been designed with learners in mind. I believe learning must always be authentic, nurturing, and a time in which each learner has the opportunity to realize just how capable and amazing they are. My classes focus greatly on confidence-building, and gaining skills, which students can take with them far beyond our virtual learning experience. I connect all classes to real life experiences, and how we can use our new found knowledge to grow as learners. 

What was the inspiration for the class? Well, the answer is super genuine: my own authentic experiences! Karate has been a huge part of my life for over 2 decades. Where does the time go? The saying is very true, indeed: "time flies when you're having fun!" When training, I always focus on ensuring that I warm up well, focus on my karate moves and techniques, get my heart beat going with a fun-filled workout, and end with a cool-down stretches. All of this cumulates into a wonderful experience, which I feel very fortunate to bring to learners!

If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact me; always just an email away!  Also, if you don't see a time that works best for you and your family, please let me know, and I will try my absolute best to add a suitable section time to my page!
