Josie works very hard in class and is very easy to teach. I show her something once and she has it down.
You decide who will be named Youth Athlete of the Year, featured in a 3BRAND ad in Sports Illustrated, and take home $25,000
She LOVES to sparr! She loves a good fight. She is only 12 but she can sparr with anyone! I really need to be on my toes when I go against her, she doesnt hold back but thats what I teach. She is only a Brown belt now but will be a Black Belt next Spring. She can also do a straight up side kick, it is very hard to do but she is only a couple inches away from a perfect straight up kick!
She works out and home with her dad all the time. I would say that he is the one that really inspires her.The watch martial arts movies together and he is always holding a bag for her.
I would say my proudest moment is when we kinds had a little conversation a month ago. She has a condition where she doesnt talk very much. I am not sure what it is called exactly. Her Mom got her in my class to try and help her open up. I think it is working. I would be more proud of her actually talking to me then becoming a black belt. Maybe I can get both :)
