Instructor Spotlight: Mr. Kory

   

Mr. Kory is AWESOME! 

He achieved his Junior Black Belt and continues our training in the teens program on our adult curriculum. Now he is sharing that knowledge and his awesome sense of humor with another generation of Little Warriors! 





Mr. Kory strives to teach our Little Warriors:
"To work hard and get it done."

The kiddos love Mr. Kory because:
      He is high energy and always down to work on more sparring techniques! His excitement carries over into them and gets them so pumped to train. Mr. Kory knows that the hard drills is where those big leaps of growth happen and he isn't afraid of a bit of work to see his goals happen He actually earned his Junior Black Belt in less time than expected due to his can do attitude. We love the example of hard work he sets for them. Mr. Kory is also one of those awesome big brother figures who genuinely loves to catch up on what's new and deepen his relationships with those around him.

A few of Mr. Kory's favorite things:
     Mr. Kory loves to train and is constantly learning and growing along with the Little Warriors. Because he's only been with us for a few years he still easily gets excited with new material and by seeing the kiddos succeed. He has a great sense of humor and is unapologetically himself. In fact he is the first one to make redhead jokes (which his fellow redheads loves) and even came to martial arts class dressed like a leprechaun for an epic Halloween class last year. Mr. Kory is a busy bee. He is usually thinking about food and complaining about his mountains of homework. In fact of if he were to have any super power in the world he wished for the ability to freeze time as it would allow him to get all the homework done and still have time for fun and mischief before dinner. 

A little bit more about Mr. Kory:
     Mr. Kory's life currently revolves around his family, school and martial arts. In his free time Mr. Kory loves Anime! His current favorite shows are K-on and Saiki K. The other instructors have recently just got him hooked on a new one called Cowboy Bebop who's martial arts style is actually based off of the Jeet Kune Do which we study in the children's martial arts classes. We love that his training bleeds into his other interests. Mr. Kory isn't quite sure what he wants to be when he grows up but he dreams of going to the plot of land he owns in Scotland that makes him officially "Lord Kory." No matter what this young man sets his heart to we know Mr. Kory can achieve it! He's demonstrated his dedication, self discipline, and hard work goal setting formula in his training and beyond.

Mr. Kory we love seeing your confidence grow in this new role! Your skills are helping future generations of Warriors achieve their goal of Junior Black Belt. We love that you are so willing to help and be a leader.

Here's bonus pictures of Mr. Kory testing for Junior Black Belt!
