Personal

I started training with my father Master Juan Galvan at age 3 in 1988. He started his dojo in The Colony, Texas before I was born & I grew up in it. He always encouraged me to compete but never forced it on me & I'm grateful for all the competitions he exposed me to. Now I'm currently the head instructor here at Galvan's Karate & Kickboxing Academy.
