I train with Mr. Jeremy Whatley and Master Anne Radke.They both are extremely inspirational to me. It feels great being part of such a loveing dojo family. I have won the divisional champion title in both fighting and kata I became hooked on competing from the first event. In the past I have been a fitness club manager and a certified personal trainer. I have also coached many city league sports. I feel extremely comfortable in front of groups of people both young and old. I feel it is extremely important to lead by example and I truely enjoy mentoring our areas youth. I know that I can make a difference in peoples lives by assisting in teaching your Upkudo system and also teaching the importance of haveing a strong physical body, mind, and spirit. I know that I can bring strong leadership qualities to the community. |

As a female correctional officer and a survivor of domestic violence, I have gained confidence in knowing how to defend myself and not to become a victim of circumstance. Master Anne’s guidance continues to mold me into a better martial artist spiritually and physically. Through Master Anne’s teachings, I have learned to overcome my feelings of self doubt and replace them with positive affirmations .
In the words of Master Anne and Grand Master Baker, “to be a true champion is to think like a champion, train like a champion, go beyond pain and never give up”. As I continue to train in the UPKUDO system, it is my desire to effectively teach and pass on the skills and knowledge that I obtain from Master Anne, Grandmaster Baker, all the Black Belts, Kelegion Kais and my dojo family. The UPKUDO system is one to be proud of and I am honored to be a member. |

"Since I have started UPKUDO, it has made me a better person, it has made me focus more on other things, like my job, my family, and other people. I now hold my head up high because I know I am a part of something special.
"UPKUDO has become part of my life and my family life too. No one can take me away from UPKUDO or Master Anne, the best teacher I have ever had. "It is a real joy top watch a little person or adult do something that you have taught them. I am living proof of what UPKUDO has done for me. "I will hold my head high because I am in the best system and I have the best teacher, Master Anne." |
