Josie's Story
Josie began her martial arts journey at the age of 7 under the guidance of Sensei Mallica. While she initially faced a mix of excitement and anxiety, her dedication soon led her to embrace the experience fully, attending camps and classes regularly. Josie's passion and commitment made her the first student to be hired into the program, and today, she shares her knowledge and enthusiasm by helping coach the 11:30 AM Saturday class. With a natural ability to bring joy to others, Josie continues to inspire and uplift everyone she trains with.
Aysel is an active participant in group classes at private lessons and has made incredible progress in her training, transitioning from a little hesitant to full-out sparring. Aysel has a nurturing spirit, especially with the Panda Kai class, and dreams of teaching pre school one day. Balancing her passion for martial arts with her college studies, Aysel is committed to both her personal growth and helping others along their journey.
