“I truly love my job in TaeKwon-Do due
to the fact I can see the best in Europe and the World, and this is always an
education for all instructors and Masters alike - to see how our own country
lives up to the best i.e. the Koreans. They are a joy to watch and always come up
with the unexpected."

after a competition and try and apply new training methods and sharpen
techniques for the next event.”
