Favourite things about taekwondo:<\/strong>
I enjoy practising my skills on the pads, as well as the sparring and fitness. I also enjoy spending time with the people I train with – we all get on really well, which makes it fun.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Benefits of taekwondo:<\/strong>
TKD keeps me fit and healthy. Learning self defence has helped a lot with my confidence. It keeps me active and it’s always good meeting new people.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Future taekwondo goals:<\/strong>
My goals are to be better at tournaments, to keep working on my fitness and to reach black belt.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Career highlights:<\/strong>
My favourite achievement so far is gaining the confidence to do sparring, as this was one of my weaknesses. Since then I have been competing in tournaments and will continue to attend more to gain more experience.
