Hello, my name is Brittany Kuster.  I was born in Peoria Illinois and have lived here all my life.  I am currently in college studying radiography and plan on graduation this year (2006) I started in the martials arts because I had a stalker and my parents thought I should be able to defend myself if need be.  I started classes with my father ( StephenKuster.)  The first class we went to I thought that I don't want to do this.  It's nothing like it is on television.  Following a few more classes I realized it wasn't anything like TV it was better!  I could really pull this off if need be.  I received my blackbelt on May 27, 2005 and now I help Master Wittekiend teach the childrens class.
