I am a 4th-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and I belong to Free Spirit Karate martial arts school. I've been an NWMAF member for many years and have always wanted to attend the conferences but have never been able to fit it into my schedule. NWMAF was important to me since I don't find many adult women in my school. I can count on one hand the number of adult women at my school. I am excited to finally be able to be with you at a conference and look forward to gaining many friendships, especially with adult women, at the conference and gaining a lot of knowledge from all of you. I look forward to learning so much from all the different martial arts at the conference.
