In 1996 she joined World Oyama Karate Headquarters where she trained directly under Grandmaster (Soshu) Shigeru Oyama. In 1998, after successfully competing in many semi-knockdown tournaments she was invited to join uchi-deshi morning training, overseen by Soshu, in preparation for knockdown tournaments. She participated in this training along with a regular class and teaching schedule for four years until World Oyama HQ closed its doors (2003) on Sixth Avenue. In 2003 she became a Laban Certified Movement Analyst and applies this specialized knowledge in her training and instruction of karate and other specialized workshops.
