return to home front

Nora Martinez

I joined karate to exercise and to get into shape.  Instead I entered a world of physical and mental challenges.  I learned that I could develop mental skills and transform those skills into strength and art

Fuel for Life

Art, the fuel of my life.  As soon as morning breaks and I wake up, I take three sips of water in the name of the Blessed Trinity.  Ah... a new beginning for me in creation.
Art is my passion.  When I contemplate a Rembrandt or Picasso my soul rejoices.  All art forms take me to unimaginable places, it can be a poem or the Nutcracker on stage.
Art, my creations.  My daughters, Naxhiely, Liliana, Paulina and Angela, they are my masterpieces.
Art in my future.  I'm not alone and that gives me confidence to take on new challenges.  I want to give the best of myself to my pupils, like my head instructor did for me.  As an instructor, I want to work to bring out those martial art talents in my students.
