The brother and sister team of Matthew and Michelle Miller are transfer students from a different martial arts school. Many times that transition is difficult for young students, but not to these dedicated martial artists. They embraced our system wholeheartedly, and have made this a better dojo. Michelle started when the punch block kick contest was nearly half over. She did an amazing performance and came very close to overcoming the leader, Evan Li. In fact, he was so far ahead he started to coast, so Michelle made him a better martial artist by challenging his 1st place position.
Matthew was apprehensive the first time he attended a board breaking class. After a little encouragement he realized how good he could be, and won the breaking contest in that class.
He asked his mom if I gave him the first place ribbon because I was just being nice. All veteran students here know that you don’t get anything here unless you earn it, not even a compliment. All is earned. Both Michelle and Matthew come to ever class focused and ready to work. They are helping to make the Elite Dojo a great one. Congratulations Michelle and Matthew on being named the students of the month.
