Christine Malone

Instructor

Christine is a first degree black belt under Ryan Wheaton.

I started my training in West Los Angeles at Mr. Brian Hawkin's studio and realized that I’d never again see my life in terms of days, weeks, and years because from that point forward, life became movement and movement became magic: I was on an exciting and fascinating journey. Physical fitness, coordination, and self-defense skills were the immediate benefits of my trek, but soon I discovered those goals weren’t a destination, but merely stepping-stones on my new path.

I studied at Mr. Hawkins’ studio until 1994 when my path steered me toward other avenues of personal and professional growth, but all along, the Kenpo fire burned within me.

I resumed training in 2002 with, Lou Voiler, and soon earned my brown belt and began teaching as an assistant instructor in 2004.

I continued training with Mr. Voiler until 2005 when my path once again led me into the unknown: My husband and I moved to Utah. My training to this point had gifted me with a discerning martial arts pallet and thankfully, when I walked into Arrowhead Karate studio, my Kenpo taste buds were not disappointed: I found my new instructor, Mr. Ryan Wheaton.

I am privileged to train with Mr. Wheaton and the Arrowhead Kenpo crew. Thanks to them, I realize more than ever that my journey itself and the friendship of those I get to travel with ARE the rewards. My friends and I look forward to never arriving.
