I started at the Asian Arts Center when I was 15.  I have always liked martial arts-themed movies and shows, and when I started training, I was very excited to experience it for myself.  Over time I realized how much more martial arts is than just defending yourself physically.  It challenges you physically, mentally and is truly a lifestyle to live by.  I have built strong bonding relationships here, and I feel like I have a second family.  I have had many fun and rewarding experiences in my years at the AAC.  When I began teaching, I gained even more of those experiences and observed martial arts from a different angle.  We run day camps at the AAC, and I just completed a fun week with a great group of kids.  I was reminded of how much I enjoy spending time training with the students and seeing their progress. Teaching here has become a passion of mine just as much as my own personal training.     Kellen Brown
