Before Taekwondo, I was a pussy. Really? Yeah, I couldn't fight at all. So why would I get in fights? I was trying to get away from fights. I was trying to avoid everybody. I was terrified. Wow. So I just got tired of being fucked with because I was a pussy. Because I would get nervous. Because I moved around a lot. I didn't have a lot of friends. We moved a bunch of times when I was a kid.

So it was always around new kids. And I wasn't big, so they would fuck with me. You know, it's just normal. And I didn't know how to fight, so it bothered the shit out of me. And so I'm like, well, there's only one solution. You know, you got to become what you're scared of.

You were like, hey, I want to do this. Yeah, I got a job. Started working, washing dishes at Newport Creamery. Got enough money so I could take Taekwondo lessons. Holy shit, Joe. And then I started going every day, so... After a while, he realized it would be better if I was just there all the time instead of working. And so he gave me a job.

Yeah, so I was teaching. So I started teaching when I was like 15. I was teaching people when I was 15. And then when I was 19, I was teaching at Boston University. I used to teach a class, accredited class. It was pass, fail, A. And I would tell everybody, it would count towards your GPA. So I'd say, if you come here, you get an A. That's all you have to do. Just try.

You're going to get an A. And it counts towards your GPA. And I tell them that at the beginning of the class. I go, if you can't come, if you can't make it, just call me and tell me that you can't make it, but I want you to come every time you can. And if you do that, I'm going to get you better. And we're all going to learn something. I'm going to really get into this.

Yeah, well, that's what I was doing for a living. So from 15 to 19, I was just teaching. So what my instructor allowed me to do, I guess I was training after about six months or so. He said, look, you could train here for free. All you have to do is teach private lessons. I was like, great. So I would teach people, the new people, I would teach them how to bow. I teach them how to tie their gi on.
