We were taking kickboxing classes at a mixed martial arts gym. We were both students in the class until he was asked to be the kickboxing instructor. We all loved coach "bink bink" and were thrilled to take his class. He then made the decision to join the US Army and left to basic training shortly after. We kept in touch every so often and he planned a 10 hour trip to come visit us. When he came down, we had so much fun and went on a few dates. We made it official soon after.
