Favourite
Technique: Back Kick.
Knee kick is right up there too.
Anything that generates a lot of power and doesn’t require a lot of
“flying” or spinning gets my vote every time.
Favourite
Form: Lo Hai
Most
Influential Martial Artist: Kathy Gallagher – she was an
incredible instructor and mentor in my pre-teen years in practicing Tang Soo Do.
Now, I have to say honestly, I haven’t met a black belt in the TTF
that I didn’t like.
Each and everyone one has shown us kindness, humility and an incredible
sense of unity in traditional Tang Soo Do.
I look forward to our yearly visit to the TTF headquarters and to be able
to sport my well-earned bruises upon my return to California
. I say all
this in hopes that they will read this and won’t make me squeak like a little
monkey upon my next visit.
One can ALWAYS wish.
Other
Hobbies: Gardening, walking my pups and movies.
Shopping my husband would say but I will deny it until my dying days.
I also like to spend a lot of time in sunny
San Diego
, thinking what it would be like living somewhere else.
But then I sip on my Pina Colada in our hot tub in the garden and think
that 75 degrees and sunny in November is just something that I will have to live
with. FOREVER.
Last Book
Read: Martial Arts Instruction – Applying Educational
Theory and Communication Techniques in the Dojo by
Lawrence
Kane. Coming
from a previous business background, I’m a big believer in using the
Myers-Briggs methodology in identifying how to communicate to different types of
personalities. This
book has it….good stuff.
Favourite
Book: Grass
by Sherri Tepper. Favorite
secret reading books are Harry Potter series
Last Film
Watched:
Indiana
Jones and The Last Crusade.
Sean Connery is the BEST.
Favourite
Movie: It is a toss between Fifth Element and Serenity.
Love good sci-fi films with great cinematography.
Serenity is one of the most under-rated films - EVER.
Favourite
Meal: Pasta
and Meatballs or Meatballs and Pasta.
I also like Spaghetti and Meatballs
Pet: We
have two stinky dogs: R.A.S. (which stands for Remote Access Service) who’s a
black
Labrador
and Gracie who is a mixed border collie.
They keep us laughing everyday.
