In 2010, Samantha started training at Central Florida Karate Academy under the instruction of Master Eric Hill. 11 years later, she is a Second Degree Black Belt and has a passion for self defense.
One of her goals in life is to open her own Tang Soo Do karate studio geared towards a Broadway performer’s schedule and expose more performers to the world of self defense and karate. Samantha is deeply committed to offering comprehensive, gender-inclusive self defense that can be used by everyone!

Reasons to take Self Defense!
Confidence.
The confidence that comes with knowing how to protect yourself is unparalleled. I believe that everyone deserves the basic tools to feel safe and powerful.
Great Exercise.
Self defense and karate in general are fantastic exercises, especially for singers! There is a strong focus on breathing overall strength that can be very beneficial to musical theatre performers.
Team Building.
It all begins with an idea. Whether for a group of friends, colleagues or a club, self defense is the perfect activity! Bond and learn how to protect each other in a fun, 90-120 minute class. (Longer class times offered to groups over 30 people.)
