How did you get involved in Taekwondo?
When I was young my parents got me involved in a lot of different kinds of activities such as swimming, dancing, golfing, gymnastics and a lot of other things, but Taekwondo really was the only thing that stuck with me.
What is Taekwondo to you specifically?
Taekwondo is a big part of my life. It’s a place I can go and forget about everything and just concentrate on pushing myself and doing something I love. I have a lot of fun.
What do you enjoy about Taekwondo?
I enjoy it’s kicking dynamics and I especially enjoy patterns and being part of the demo team. What I really like about Taekwondo is all the different aspects and dimensions to it. There are so many different things you can do, there’s sparring, patterns, demo team, self defence, board breaking, weapons, and so much more. It’s an art and a sport that you can never get bored of!

Taekwondo has affected me greatly, I truly wouldn’t be the person I am today without it. It has shown me discipline, taught me how to be perseverant and to never stop trying, and it has shown me how to have a healthy and active lifestyle.
