My entire teaching career can be summed up in one tweet...

Me: “Have you been practicing?”

Student: ...

I can’t think of anyone who embodies the spirit of an excellent teacher more than my Sensei. Thank you for making my life better and for helping me find myself. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

I have had a lot of fantastic teachers in my life. People who have helped shape me and mold me into a better person. But the person who has undoubtedly had the biggest impact on my life is my karate teacher. My Sensei is the reason I’m still here today. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

He challenges you and forces you to push yourself to become the best that you can be. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it until I die. Teaching karate is about so much more than just punches and kicks. It’s about building yourself up to be a stronger and more caring person.

#MyGreatestAccomplishment was earning my blackbelt. Easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

#MyLifeHasMeaningBecause of karate. Nothing has been there for me like karate has.

Grateful students and parents make teaching so rewarding.

This is why I always say karate is for EVERYONE! Beautiful and exactly what I needed to see today! ❤️

If you win a trophy you should expect an attack from any angle 😂

Terrible break or amazing aim?

Could I take this person? (It’s a karate thing) #MyMentalStateIn5Words

[Ramblings of a Sensei @TheMindOfSensei]

Martial arts is #WhatMakesMeWhoIAm

I got involved with it because I was bullied and insecure as a kid. Now I pass on what I learned to others by teaching. Helping people learn about and improve themselves is the greatest feeling I’ve ever experienced.

I love karate

[Ramblings of a Sensei @TheMindOfSensei]

A student gave me a Christmas card she drew tonight. She’s 7. She is adorable. And she was SO excited to see me open it. Be more like her. She’s the type of person we all need to be. ❤️

[Ramblings of a Sensei @TheMindOfSensei]

Please don’t Fortnite dance when I’m trying to teach you. I promise you won’t like me after that. 👊🏻

[Ramblings of a Sensei @TheMindOfSensei]

🙌🏻 Yes!

[Ramblings of a Sensei @TheMindOfSensei]

I teach martial arts and I use my classes as a way to mold my students (young and old) into better people physically and mentally. It’s so much more than just how to punch and kick. That’s #HowIMakeADifference
