Robyn Trog began her martial arts journey in 2005 (at the age of 43) under the instruction of Master Jackie Self. She was at the school with her children, so why not participate? She started training with the thought of earning the executive black belt offered by Master Self. Crying like a baby after her first sparring attempt, Mrs. Trog decided she needed to learn more! 

Master Self encouraged her to start competing in tournaments when she earned her 4^th  Brown Belt. She was hooked. Scrappy and determined, she competed in the executive women's division, earning some places and lots of experience! 

In October of 2010 she earned her 1^st Degree Dan under Master Jackie Self. In March of 2012 she took her first women's self-defense class with Grand Master Mike Johnson. How awesome! To know what you can and will do to protect yourself and others! She has been teaching self-defense classes to women, teens, and children since then. 

She continued training and working with Master Self earning her 2^nd Degree Dan in 2012, 3^rd  Degree Dan in 2015, and 4^th  Degree Dan in 2019. In 2020, with Master Self's blessing, she branched out to teach in her own school. Catering to women and children, she continued until merging with Summit Martial Arts in 2023. 

In addition to Master Self, Mrs. Trog has attended seminars and training under Grandmaster Roy Kurban, Grandmaster Mike Johnson, and Master Vivian Lynn.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, avid martial arts student, CrossFit fanatic, and Certified Naturopathic Doctor, Robyn enjoys being with her family as much as possible. She loves to help people on their health journey, cook, crochet, and play with her children and grandchildren.
