“I want everyone to feel safe and included at my dojang. We have a sense of camaraderie and belonging that is hard to find elsewhere. There is no tolerance for intolerance. Becoming a Black Belt is a process, and we all had to start as white belts not knowing anything about martial arts. Come as you are!” - Mr. Shaw
