The Title of Professor

February 4, 2018

I have been a teacher for the last 13 years, and over that time, I’ve gone through the ranks of Purple, Brown, Black, and now 1st Degree Black Belt.  For the last 6 years as a Black Belt, I’ve struggled with feeling “worthy” of the title Professor.

My students refer to me by a lot of different names – Professor, Coach, Mestre, and simply  “Collin” a lot of the time during class, but nothing feels as comfortable to me than hearing my own name.  When they ask me what I prefer I always say Collin.  I don’t know if that makes us different from most academies, but for some reason it just feels right at ours.

I look at my students as my friends.  I call them by their names, so it only feels natural for that to be returned.  Although I’m the teacher at heart we are all students.  I study, learn and work hard to get better – to be a better teacher, practitioner and person.

If you’re interested in trying a new way to work out or already train=, I humbly invite you to stop by and give the academy a try.  Just ask for Collin.
