Kathrin began her martial arts training in 1991 in a free-style curriculum.  After earning her black belt, she began pursuing traditional Taekwondo and, in 2023, she earned her 7th Degree Black Belt in Kong Soo Do Taekwondo under Hanshi Clay Worley.  During those years of training, she
learned of the weapon and empty hand Filipino arts.  The draw was undeniable, and she found herself pursuing both arts.  In 2017, she earned
her 4th Grade Black Belt in Cacoy Cañete Doce Pares (CCDP) Eskrima under Sr. Grandmaster Anthony Kleeman.
