Book Cover & Preview Text
Hi, My name is Kilu pronounced (Key-loo) and I am a Red Panda from southwestern Himalayas (these are mountains) and in southwestern China (that’s a country). Let me tell you a little about how I look. I am slightly larger than an American cat. I have reddish brown fur and a very bushy tail. My tail is really awesome looking. It has yellowish red rings and reddish brown rings. My tail also provides me with excellent balance when I am climbing down trees, head first (pretty cool huh!!!). My face is brown with white markings and brownish tear streaks under my eyes. Some would say I look similar to a raccoon. My eye color is the deepest black and my teeth are very sharp, so I can eat Bamboo. (The bamboo plant is on the cover and back of this book). I have four legs. My legs in front are short and my legs in back are long, which makes me waddle when I walk. I think it is kind of cute. Plus I have thick black fur on the bottom of my feet, which protects my feet when I am on snow or ice. Brrrrrrr! Well, enough about me! I am so excited to share the World of Martial Arts from A to Z with you. I will bring you on a journey with me to teach you some of the basic words and actions you might need to know when learning the martial arts. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..

About the Author
I was born in Sandusky, Ohio. Moved to Houston, Texas 1977 and then moved to Connecticut in 1979 , where I reside to this day. Graduated from Southern CT State University in 1986 with a degree in Bachelor of Science. In 1996 I met my husband and was married in 2001. I worked at a nursing home for 17 years, until one day my husband had a dream of opening up a martial arts school. So I quit my job and helped him live his dream. In 2002, together we opened up a martial arts school. I became the Director/Coordinator, while he taught the classes. He was a 1st degree black belt at the time (now 5th degree). Not knowing much about the martial arts and teaching, he encouraged me to start assisting in his classes. I became a Certified Instructor in 2003 and started teaching classes ages 3 yrs. to teenagers. Also in that same year; I started my martial arts training. In 2007, I proudly earned my Black Belt. Because of a previous knee injury, I had to discontinue my training, but continued to enjoy teaching classes and providing one-on-one private lessons. In 2012, I was honored to be inducted into “The Master Martial Arts Hall of Fame”. In 2014, I started thinking about how I could help children with their own personal journey and how martial arts can help them now and through out their life. I want children to get excited about learning, achieving goal, and having a “Yes I Can” attitude. Through the martial arts, I have enjoyed watching the children over the years become respectful, confident young adults. “May the Journey Continue”.
