Sempai Magdalena Tolmachev
Sempai Magdalena, aka Sempai Maggie, joined Zahand's Martial Arts a little over 4 years ago after a friend invited her to buddy week. She instantly fell in love with the positive environment and family dynamic. The dojo became her "safe space" and something she could truly call her own.While she participated in many sportts throughout her life, martial arts became "her thing." Soon after joining, she began assisting classes, using her bubbly and outgoing nature to help the younger students in the dojo.
In her free time, Maggie enjoy reading, dancing, and nerding out with her friends. Whenever she is not at the dojo, you'll most likely find her at work - so feel free to say hi! She is currently and college student at Kent State University studying clinical psychology and occupational therapy.
Thanks to the skills she's learned at the dojo, Sempai plans to open her own pediatric occupational therapy practice. The dojo has showne her that beyond physical development, growing your mind is the one of the most important aspects of life.
