No matter how long you train for you can always find ways to challenge yourself. I have also meet some great people whilst I’ve been training and have made a number of great friends. What you enjoy most about being an instructor? I enjoy getting to meet new people, finding out what their goals are or what they would like their child to achieve by doing Martial arts, whether it be better concentration, discipline or improved fitness, and then working together in order to reach these goals.
