She took an excellent Aikido class in college, but felt a burning desire to kick and punch. Overcoming her fear of running and pushups, she took Three Day Basics at Hwa Rang Kwan in 1998 and has been addicted ever since. She is an elementary teacher by day, and enjoys teaching Beginning Taekwondo students at night. While she has yet to make peace with running and pushups, she continues to feed her addiction to kicking and punching several times a week.
Her brother now prefers swing dancing.
