Sun Dragon has been a big part of my life since I took my first self defense class in 1994. That class inspired me to start karate, which isn't something I ever expected to do. But I found that the physical discipline combined with personal growth and violence prevention skills were all elements I was looking for, wrapped up in one art. As a teacher, I find my job incredibly gratifying. When one of my students learns something about themselves, or masters a new skill, or gains a new insight into how we can all work to make the world more peaceful, I am grateful, again, to this community and the work we do together.
