More belt testing pictures – I get to help adults and children become more self confidence in their every day life as well as life skills in self defense! This picture make me want to be the best instructor that I can be. Best job ever!

This was after a gut check belt testing! It was 90 degrees outside – we all came out to cool off from the inside.

Their martial arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was on fire ! Another great picture caught as we all gasp for fresh air. Also belt testing – soon, be ready.

Just a cool pic of the front of my academy in Bettendorf – Windows are saying – Savages are in here, enter at own risk.

All joking aside – great people in this place! Friends you could make for life

If you came to the dojo tonight – this is your work- Windows crying with fog and steamed up. Congratulations on your gut check and hard work is paying off. I could not be more proud of all my students! It takes a lot of work and bodies on the mats to make 2500 square foot hot as a sauna. #tarpeins #tarpeinsdojo #selfdefense #bjj #karate #brazilianjiujitsu #kickboxing #judo #sambo #kidskarate #davenport #bettendorf #moline #eastmoline #silvis #rockisland #qca #legitblackbelt (at Tarpein’s Dojo)

Aine and Kyna came to me about 1 month ago- don’t let the pink Gi’s fool you. These sisters are hungry to learn and a complete joy to teach and have in class. They are truly special. Their work ethic is something that can only be appreciated if you see them both in training at the dojo.
