Why Sam loves Taekwondo
My passion for Taekwondo is one born of stress release and focusing on the present. Throughout my school and university years, Taekwondo offered an outlet for the pressure of my education as well as the right environment to nurture my low self-confidence and build me up into the strong individual I feel I am today.
As an instructor, I feel privileged to help build character in other children as my instructors built within me years ago. Helping children grow and teaching them to apply maximum effort in their endeavours is extremely rewarding for me, especially when you see noticeable improvement in both their skill in Taekwondo as well as their attitude in class and towards others.
