US Yoshukai Karate Student Spotlight

---

Each month the US Yoshukai Karate Association will recognize the hard work and dedication of one of our students.  A different student will be selected each month from our different dojos.  The spotlight will give some insight into the student's journey, life, their goals and what they like best about US Yoshukai Karate. Each month instructors will nominate students for the "Student Spotlight" and we cannot wait to share their stories!

Mrs. Davis is a Nidan (2nd degree Black Belt) at the Honbu Dojo in Montgomery, Alabama.  She began studying US Yoshukai Karate at the Pike road Dojo in 2017 under Soshu Koda.  Her favorite kata is Seisan and her weapon of choice is the Bo.  Her favorite activity in karate is breaking boards.

Mrs. Davis's goal in karate was to achieve her Black Belt.  She has surpassed that goal by achieving Nidan and is currently training to test for he Sandan. Learning new material and advancing is always a wonderful goal!

"The sense of confidence it can give everyone, no matter what level.  Also, I am allowed, even encouraged, to yell as loud as I can!"

Mrs.  Davis enjoys teaching Math (she is a veteran teacher with Montgomery Public Schools), Hallmark movies, Escape Games, puzzles, and karaoke.

I have enjoyed having Mrs. Davis in class for the past seven years.  She is a major asset to the class with her energy, enthusiasm, and spirit.  She is an excellent teacher and provides great guidance to the other students in what it means to be a US Yoshukai Student. She is a leader and a cheerleader  for other students. She always comes to class with a positive attitude and is excited to learn new material. After achieving her Black Belt Mrs. Davis has been a great support to the dojo by helping teach class and even covering classes when necessary. Every dojo should be lucky enough to have a Mrs. Davis in class!  - Soshu David Koda
