New Trainee - Kaido Mori

Hey, I'm Kaido in year 12 from Brisbane State High School currently doing a Certificate 3 in fitness at Fitnance. I'm here to learn the Certificate to be a personal trainer. I don't want to be a regular trainer who's at a gym - I want to teach martial arts (Aikido) that I'm learning from my father. Since I've started this course I've been learning boxing once per week for 2 hours. The first session helped my fitness and the second session helped me improve technique. Even though the boxing sessions are really tiring it improves my martial arts that I'm going to teach in the future. I'm currently enjoying the traineeship and boxing very much.
