Notre Dame Martial Arts Institute

University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana

"The need to defend one's life need not be by appointment, but may occur at any unorthodox time, therefore the forms and techniques of the martial arts are naturally endless."

One of the first people to get her black belt after she graduated from Notre Dame, Heidi has always been enthusiastic about her arts. She moved to Chicago after graduation where she was one of many ND alumni who studied Kempo. It was during this time that Heidi would make the trek back to South Bend every weekend. She has since moved on to study Tai Chi and other internal arts. Her brother, Joe, later joined the club and also received his shodan.
