Later moved to various other locations, i.e., MD, NJ, OK, and Europe.
Like many, I became committed and determined after seeing "Fists of Fury." Immediately I started mimicking the moves I had seen. My first martial arts classes came by signing up for a six-week Taekwondo class taught by one of Eddie Gaston's black belts, a well-known martial artist in the Columbia area.
During the first week of classes, I became frustrated with the instructor's teaching methods and the limitations of the art, challenged the instructor, and beat him just from what I had learned from watching the movie. So, of course, I left that school and later found Genova Karate School. This is where I was tested and truly challenged. -

Rachel Branton
Teyla Rachel Branton grew up avidly reading science fiction and fantasy and watching Star Trek reruns with her large family. They lived on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats, not a good mix, as it turns out. Teyla always had her nose in a book and daydreamed about someday creating her own worlds. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has seven kids, so life at her house can be very interesting (and loud), but writing keeps her sane. She thrives on the energy and daily amusement offered by her children, the semi-ordered chaos giving her a constant sour
