Nick.  Definition:  Intensity.  Nick is always grinding it out on the Dojo floor.  He comes ready for class, and shows it with his enthusiasm and focus.  Always pushing himself, you can plainly see that Nick takes martial arts very serious, but he is still light hearted and quick with the wit, truly making him a well rounded individual.

     He has been with us since day one, having now logged in over two physical years of karate training, and in Nick's case we do mean physical.  He is not a student who "coasts" through class.  He pushes himself all out, and always wears the sweat to prove it.  When we pick student of the month, sometimes a student like Nick may slide under our radar because he is so consistent.  Our radar finally is recognizing his awesome efforts.

     Two years without a leave of absence and two years of hard core karate training.  Keep up the intensity and dedication Nick, because with your personality and your workout ethics, we see a Karate Instructor in the making.  Great job.
