Dear Simo / Guro Inosanto,

Please accept this letter as my application to the Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts International Instructors Association. I'm honored to be considered for the IAMA Instructor program. 

I started my FMA training back in 2019 at Tandez Academy of Martial Arts when I lived in the Bay area. I trained FMA and JKD for a year and stopped when Covid started. I then resumed training at the Academy in late 2023 after moving to LA in 2020. I'm regularly taking Guro's FMA class on Monday, Silat class on Thursday and Saturday, and Thai boxing class on Thursday every week. 

The martial arts have become much more than a physical practice for me; they are a source of inspiration and personal growth. Through my training, I have met many remarkable individuals. They have helped me discover the joy of continuous improvement and curiosity. Training has revealed new strengths and perspectives, encouraging me to pursue growth not only as a martial artist, but as a person. I am grateful for the friendships and mentorships I have formed.

It is truly an honor and privilege to learn, teach and have any involvement whatsoever with yourselves and the Academy.  My goal is to continue to learn the teachings of Guro Inosanto and pass them down as they have been taught to me. I wish to thank you in advance for your consideration and I hope that this letter will meet with your approval.
