Dominique is nine years old and has been training in karate for a year. She first got involved because a friend encouraged her to join, and because she wanted to boost her confidence and self-control. Being named Student of the Month shows just how far she has come since that first class.
Along the way, Dominique has gained even more than she set out to find. She has learned self-defense and new movements, and she can feel how much more power she has in her techniques today.
Her message to anyone thinking about joining is simple: "Come and train with me." She also wants to thank Port Credit Academy of Martial Arts and her parents for encouraging her and getting her started in martial arts, because it's really fun and exciting.
