From my first lesson in Sept '06, I've been hooked. It didn't take long before deciding that I would eventually like to teach TaeKwonDo.

Since then, my health has improved in more ways than I can count. My self-confidence has gone from only a little better than non-existent to feeling like I can do almost anything I set my mind to. Even my relationship with my husband has improved (he's taking TaeKwonDo, too.)

I guess I've gotten hooked on the martial arts workouts. Its a lot more fun than trying to do the "same old same old" at a gym somewhere. I never really know what to expect from one workout to the next, so it's never boring.

Somebody once asked me how it was possible for someone to go from blue belt to 1st Dan in a year. My response was, "By working very hard, practicing a lot, and testing at every opportunity." I wasn't bragging...well, maybe just a little...but if someone like me who was so out of shape and in such poor health that it was entirely possible to not see her 50th birthday (I was 43 when I started taking TKD,) can do it, so can someone else, and maybe see their health improve like mine did. I now know that my chances of seeing my grandchildren grow up have dramatically improved!

If it it to be, it is up to me.--Sr Master Bailey

Like most women, I wear lots of hats. I'm a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mom, a grandma, a TKD student, a TKD instructor, etc., etc., etc... It's hard to decide which is most important. I hope to eventually open my own TKD school.

I have 2 kids, Lee (21) & Tabitha (26). Lee is in the U.S. Army & is currently stationed in New York. He's a wheeled vehicle mechanic. He's also working toward an Associates Degree. (Please keep him in your prayers.) Tabitha & her husband, Joseph, have 2 kids of their own, Jasmine (5) & Brendon (3). Joseph is also in the U.S. Army, & is currently stationed in Pennsylvania. I'm very proud of all of them.
