Robert Barrett

Mr. Robert is a very impressive instructor. He is always "ON," with his professionalism with his smile with his respectful attitude and generosity. She shares his knowledge with others students and other instructors alike. Mr. Robert is extremely patient in his teaching. He will go over a drill or a skill repeatedly explaining it detail by detail until the student gets it right. I have looked up to him in class referring to him as the "Jiminy cricket on my shoulder." Jiminy cricket being the Disney character representing your conscience always making the good and responsible decision. Mr. Robert is truly an inspirational instructor who always acts out of the kindness of his heart and the responsibility as an instructor.

Mr. Robert is another inspiration to me because he is very helpful. He takes time away from himself to help others. When Mr. Robert teaches us something he makes sure that we try the best we can. Mr. Robert also taught me that people can try a new sport at any time and any age, all you have to do is put your mind to it and do your best.

Mr. Robert He was my success coach during my Black Belt training. He inspired to keep me going at times when I felt like giving up.

Mr.Robert is another inspiration of mine. He always is pushing everyone over their limits and telling them cool techniques and secrets to reach success and always motivates you with a smile,knows when something is wrong or someone not feeling well.I want to know and share all his techniques with everyone.

You can tell Mr. Robert love what he does. His passion comes through each and every time he is on the mat. He is always happy and energetic and puts out a positive attitude. He is also a fantastic teacher. His teaching style the way he visually communicates to all students is fantastic and very clear.

One TKC instructor that is an inspiration to me is Mr. Robert because of how he is always learning and taking notes even when nobody else is. That has brought him to be a very hard worker, and a perfect role model. I always notice how ahead he is with the technique than everyone else is, and how disciplined he is when taking class. This is encouraging me to be more serious in class that I already do.

Sensei Robert I admire his passion and love of both teaching and building relationship with everyone he comes in contact with. He is an amazing teacher and someone I plan to emulate as I grow here at TKC. He is able to pull the best out of everyone from a White belt to a Second degree candidate. He brings such a positive energy to class. You can never tell he had a bad day? When he shows up for class it always all about you the student and what he can do to make you more successful in your martial arts training. He has taught me to be more mindful about truly understand all the little things within every technique. With the goal being the more you are aware the closer you are to owning the material you are learning. He is truly a gift to the TKC community and I am grateful for his mentorship.

Mr. Robert has taught me many forms and techniques. He worked me out many times and helped me achieve my goals. He also knows (and teaches) many tips to remembering complex techniques. Without him, I wouldnt be even close to ready for the upcoming Qualification Exam.

Mr. Robert is an instructor at TKC and a major inspiration to me. He hasnt faced some great adversity as far as I am aware, or conquered some major impossible feat as far as I am aware, but he is simply inspirational. Inspiration is defined as being mentally stimulated to do or feel something I think that Mr. Robert fits that model perfectly because he absolutely stimulates myself along with many other students to do something great. He is always able to calm down nervous students, (including and especially myself) inspire greatness in others, and improve my forms, kicks, and generally who I am without ever making me feel bad, or embarrassing me.
