Self-Defense with Instructor Khang
My goal is to provide low cost classes to my community but to provide the highest level of real world training I can. Bad things and evil people have and always will be around, emergency response will always be slower than the person who is already on the scene so it will always be up to the individual to respond to their own crisis. I hate bullies and those who hurt innocent people, this is my driving force for starting my project as a firearms instructor.

I believe that diversity should be represented in the film industry and television, not just through their films but their castings as well. I believe that in today’s age and time, having a different ethnicity playing a lead role would actually draw more audience and viewers to want to invest in watching a film. I mean let’s look at some facts here, minorities can play the lead role just as good as the little roles that are always given to them. Jackie Chan has definitely been a good example of it.

We've all felt blue here and there. Faced with moments that has deeply scarred us. Few people have not felt the pain of a job loss, relationship that's going downhill, or the death of a loved one. Heartache and grief are natural parts of life, but this sadness that persists and interferes with regular activities could be depression.

Thinking back to all these times gave me a sense of strength, or at least, that was what I told myself to feel better about what was going on…but I mean, I just didn’t know how to feel back then. The two people who gave you your life and sacrificed everything they had to raise me. Literally, kids raising kids. The people who I wanted to want me as much as I wanted them. The people who cooked for me, changed my diapers, gave me this dream of becoming a Doctor, earning a PHD, and making them proud.

I worked as a neuroscience research lab assistant for three years and I just realized that, you know, that's not the life I wanted to live, because at that point, a lot of the, the researchers were telling me that everything that all the experiments that were done within like a eight hour timeframe had already been maxed out. So if you wanted to establish yourself before to really make any groundbreaking discoveries you'd have to do two a or one week experiments.
