I started Farrell's the summer session of 2007 at the Beaverdale location. I was involved in the TaeKwonDo program & joined FXB in an effort to 'keep up' with the much younger students in TKD classes. I wanted to build my strength, endurance and stamina. Children and life circumstances happened, so there was a pause in my Farrell's journey. Once life allowed, I re-joined FXB at the Johnston location & continued with TKD at Beaverdale. I achieved my 1st Dan Black Belt during my time at Johnson. Once you achieve Black Belt, one expectation is to give back to all who helped you & to continue your growth, so I began instructing FXB. Instructing is way out of my comfort zone (!)- for many reasons, but I kept at it to keep pushing myself to grow. Starting with ST & gaining more confidence, then started instructing KB. The Johnston location closed, so I relocated to Jordan Creek. (I also instruct at the South Side location.) My favorite part of instructing is helping members feel more comfortable & confident in class and to push toward their goals & then set even more goals!
