Christa Robinson is our our lead Martial Arts instructor who is just great with kids! Christa is a first degree black belt who has been studying the martial arts form of Ja Shin Do for 23 years. She obtained her BS degree in K-12 physical education from the U of A in 1991, and her Masters in Counseling Education from ASU in 1998. Having taught K-6 physical education in the Mesa Public School District from 1992-2000, she is currently a stay-at-home mom with two girls; 6 and 3 years old. For the last 2 years she has taught martial arts to children at the school of Ja Shin Do in Tempe. Christa not only is great with kids, but is proficient in the techniques needed to teach a successful program.

“I have always loved teaching children from the days I used to help my swim coach teach toddlers how to swim in the 1980’s, to the numerous summer camps I worked at as a camp counselor throughout my college career, to my eight years teaching physical education, to staying home with my two wonderful girls, to teaching the children’s class at my martial arts school. I look forward to heading up the martial arts program at Aspire. Through teaching Ja Shin Do I hope to assist parents teach their children to be safe, healthy, responsible and self-confidence which encourages children to stand up to the strong peer pressure so prevalent in today’s society. Teaching children is a privilege. I am thankful for this privilege, and I am excited to be part of the team at Aspire.”- Christa Robinson
