My side hustle is teaching Shotokai Karate to women and girls. For over 25 years I have practiced Karate and have always desired to share my knowledge with others. The reason for my practice is to continually uphold discipline and constantly test my body and mind. For me Karate has infused my soul with fortitude, integrity and an indomitable spirit.
The people I teach are often mothers who have spent a many years caring for others and not putting themselves first. They are also women who have come out a pandemic, are unfit, depressed and looking for friendship. My job is to build them back up and help them discover their inner tiger again. I utilize Karate in an holistic sense. Moving everyday connects you back to body, combats anxiety and keeps you healthy.
