The Instructors

The instructors at my school are all very nice and they are very good at their jobs.

Let's start at the top. The Grand Master of my school is Grand Master Chong. He appears at testing and other special events. Then, one step lower is Master Kim. He teaches most of the classes, goes to testing, and he used to be a sparring champion. Without Master Kim at the school, I'm not sure I would continue. He really makes the classes challenging and very enjoyable.

One step below the Master of the school is Mr. Peters, the director of the school. He handles all the financial business and usually runs the two free private trial lessons. He also teaches in classes and occasionally runs them. He also is part of the major events. He is a great teacher and very understanding.

Another step down is the "teenage" teachers. There are quite a few. The ones I work with most often are Miss Hall, Mr. Poccobello, Mr. Villafranca, Mr. Furjanic, Miss Stottle, and Mr. Chapman. These instructors walk around the classes and help people out with different techniques, lead warm-up, and they help out at the end of class with curriculum. They also sometimes teach classes.

The instructors really make the school and keep the energy flowing!
