Chira Tennis AcademyTennis Venue in Poway, CA

I’ve played tennis all my life, always having access to courts and developing a deep appreciation for the sport's unique rhythm and strategy. I believe that each player should develop their own style because we’re all different. My dad, a math, tennis, and boxing instructor, taught me that these disciplines share a lot in common. Mastering tennis is about perfecting your shots, serves, slices, and footwork, but it ultimately comes down to the mental game. On the court, you learn the "equations" of actions and behaviors needed to outplay your opponent, turning each match into an artful challenge of skill and technique. For me, tennis is about the joy of the game, not just winning or losing. It's a sport that starts with love and ends with respect—whether through a handshake, a hug, or a simple nod if you're too sweaty. Most importantly, tennis is always a good time, and it’s a lifelong sport that can help you live healthier and longer!

"Great coach! Had a fun and helpful lesson.

I'm a passionate tennis player and coach with a diverse background in the sport. My playing career includes four years on my high school varsity team and a year playing doubles for the SDSU tennis team. My coaching experience spans six years as a resort tennis instructor, and for the past three years, I've been teaching in an after-school tennis program that also includes adult students. I enjoy working with players of all ages and skill levels, sharing my love for the game and helping them improve their technique and strategy on the court.
