Ms. Connor began training in Tong Il Lo on June 1, 2000. Her love for martial arts movies drove her to join a class after having seen "The Three Ninjas". Ms. Connor has trained under Grandmaster William McDonald, Master Jeremy Wolfgang, and Mr. Andy Tewes. She has participated in tournaments across Texas, and has had the opportunity to train with some of the top names in martial arts, including Bill "Superfoot" Wallace.

One of her proudest achievements was attaining her Third Degree Black Belt in just 9 years. Her passion to teach Tong Il Lo comes from motivating her  students, and watching them make positive changes in their lives.

Ms. Connor is honored to be the senior ranking female black belt currently active in Tong Il Lo.
