Today I had a very inspiring visit and tour of the Ottawa Ronald McDonald House. I have been looking to donate a batch of my Believe hoodies that came in the wrong color to a charity or organization.

Friday night is Sparring night for me 🙂 Everything was going really well until the sole of my foot made contact with a very sharp elbow of the person I was about to kick. Let’s just say it didn’t feel good but that’s all part of the deal. You have to be ready for anything … Read more

I’m so happy I keep this blog so I can look back with a huge smile on my face as I see all the amazing opportunities I have had and all the amazing people I had the pleasure of being with. I had the privilege of training with some of the … Read more
Yesterday, Mr. LeGrow and I gave a 5 hour pattern seminar to cover all the color belt patterns. We wanted to share our passion for patterns and give students and opportunity to review and improve their patterns in more detail. It’s good to have two instructors since we both have different personalities and wanted different things emphasized. This way we can … Read more
