Currently, Clara E Minor is the Chief Instructor at MINORSAN. Her martial arts training and experience has spanned various arts, schools, and fitness facilities from as far away as Fairbanks, Alaska, to Los Angeles, California, Baja Sur, and points in between.

Clara E Minor's most intense training involved her LimaLama workouts that started at 9:00 am with her instructor, Mr. Tino Tuiolosega, who  most often didn't leave until 9:00 pm most nights. This lasted for 12 years, Monday thru Friday, week in and week out. She put in over 26,000 (yes, thousands) hours with Mr. Tuiolosega. Through this training she is able to pass appropriate knowledge on to others, be they 3 years old or 103.

Clara has been teaching the martial arts since 1982, and has owned her own school in one capacity or another, since 1985.
