Being the youngest person in my family, I would watch martial arts movies with my older brother. I was always fascinated how one person would have the courage to stand up to so many. When I was four years old, I attended my first martial arts class. Over the years, I began to feel a sense of confidence in me by the respect other people gave me. I knew at a young age that I wanted to be someone who helped others. When I was a teenager, I faced my first obstacle. I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I was told that I was limited on physical activity and on many choices in my life. Not willing to accept my limitations, I opened my first martial arts studio when I was nineteen years old. Twenty years later, I am privileged to have worked with over five thousand students. I still felt that if there is one more child that could benefit from my experience, then I need to reach out to them. I decided to write books for children. My goal is to educate the world with my stories.
