She has continued training in support of her father (Kyoshi Chris Dessa) and knowing they are making a difference in their society.

Angelina has had the pleasure of training with many top instructors from around the world. Her greatest pleasure over the years has been in developing and training children.

Angelina has been involved with martial arts for many many years. She has a black belt in three different styles of karate. The daughter of Kyoshi Chris Dessa she started learning martial arts at a very young age. There is much to learn from Sensei Angie.
