How long have you trained in HKD? Since September 2009 Who or what has been your greatest influence? With respect to Martial Arts, I am influenced by others in their thirties and older, giving it their all in class, proving something to themselves and to their others. That inspires me to want to be the best I can be. What is your favourite TV show? I'm a bit of an HBO Junkie, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy and Dexter in that order. What is your life-long goal? To continue to find more joy in life, to travel more, learn to sail. To do the things that I have not done enough of in my youth. What is your greatest fear? Being in confined spaces, I watched an episode of " Dirty Jobs" once where the guy had to crawl underneath a house, very tight spot, could not bear watching that. Which living person do you most admire? My Father, he was an immigrant from Italy, came to Canada with nothing but the desire to work and eventually found success in the construction/ property management business. When times seem a little tough I try to think about some of the challenges he faced with his business ventures and draw inspiration from that. | Student Name: John Cecchetti Current Rank: Yellow Belt
