I started JuJitsu at the age of 6. I received my Shodan (1st Dan) in October 2005. I started doing JuJitsu because the rest of my family, but later I did it for what JuJitsu taught me: self defence, self respect, discipline and to respect those younger and older in age and in grade. Even though I have my Shodan, I will never stop learning what other can teach me and I will teach what I have been taught.
