Karate has taught me to become not just a true martial artist, but it is also given me the endurance, strength, agility, and coordination needed to play volleyball.

I started to play volleyball in 6th grade, and I have grown to love it; I am now a senior in high school, and I am the hardest front-row hitter on my team, one of the highest jumping, and I have received many awards throughout my years playing varsity sports.

Practicing Tae Kwon Do has improved my body’s performance at many levels.

I now look forward to potentially playing collegiate volleyball, and it being an additional positive experience alongside me studying Engineering.

Not only you can Be Black Belt… but you can be so much more!
