Kelli

1st Degree Black Belt, Demonstration Team Co-Captain and CPR Certified

Currently a college student, amid transferring from Shorter College to Georgia Highlands in Cartersville, Kelli enjoys Choi Kwang Do very much. She also enjoys her weekend trips with her church's praise and worship band, The Watchers. Kelli hopes to become an even more active member in her church, although is involved in almost everything that goes on now. Also, she hopes to one day open her own Choi Kwang Do school so that she will continue to stay active in both of her favorite activities. Since beginning her training in March 2005, Kelli has improved in many areas in her life, which she contributes almost entirely to Choi Kwang Do. She has learned how to live a more healthy lifestyle, such as staying active, eating healthier, and working the brain and body every day, and to defend herself more effectively. Also, since becoming an instructor in August 2006, Kelli has gone from the somewhat shy, quiet person she was when she walked in the door to a more confident leader. She has gained much confidence and her self esteem has gone up as well. As an instructor, she also has the benefit of improving her own techniques as she helps others with their techniques. Kelli earned her Black Belt in December of 2007 and she now looks forward to her newest goal, 2nd Degree Black Belt.
