Hello

My name is Michelle Lanford. I am 15 years old and have been training in Choi Kwang Do since July of 2005. I am currently a Gold Belt and became a certified Assistant Instructor shortly after receiving my Yellow Senior Belt. Being an Assistant Instructor is important to me because it is a leadership position that has made me more comfortable and confident during training and has helped me in public speaking. I enjoy helping Mr. Bowen out in kid’s class as well as adult class because it gives me a chance to see how talented and focused some of our youngest members are.

I joined Choi Kwang Do because it was something unique and different from anything I have ever done. I was mostly attracted to it for the self defense training and since I hope to attend the Naval Academy after high school, I figured some martial background wouldn’t hurt. I enjoy Choi Kwang Do a lot and can’t wait until I get my black belt. PIL-SUNG!!
