As many adults in class, Don started classes with his kids. While they all dropped out to do other kid’s things, Don found that he totally enjoyed Taekwondo and found a permanent home with Willow Martial Arts testing for 1st dan in December 2010.
All 1st Dans with Willow must choose something that they wish to be their area of expertise. Don chose the Bo and Jo. He has done extensive research on both weapons and has learned several forms with each. He has brought that knowledge to the classes for everyone to enjoy.
Don tested for 3rd dan in December 2017.
