Teaching Goal
 As a new instructor, I pride myself on passing our ancient tradition, high level of discipline, excellence, respect and humility to the next generation. The look on a students face when they achieve a goal is priceless and gratifying. The creativity, curiosity, and simplistic insight of students are a great source of knowledge, which constantly motivates me to improve my training.
