Teresa could be summed up as 'still waters run deep'. Her calm, quiet and down-to-earth demeanor hides huge technical knowledge and experience. She has started her training in 1986 with Shotokan Karate and received her first black belt in 1992, which was the year she has won the national championship for sparring. She holds a Nidan in traditional karate and is a very experienced instructor who has been teaching since 1993. She is physically very fit, tough and resilient under pressure. She is also the living proof of 'never underestimate anyone' because she has great physical strength and impact for a person who weighs so little. She teaches a great class technically and physically.
