ME & TAE KWON-DO

Name: Sabrina Lloyd

Snr Club Member

Why I started Tae Kwon-Do:

I started Tae Kwon-Do because I wanted to improve my fitness levels, confidence and prove to myself that I could achieve a long time ambition. I decided I had nothing to lose by trying out my local club and have now been practicing Tae Kwon-Do for almost a year now. I have always been interested in Martial Arts and have tried several different types of classes including kickboxing and Aikido However none have retained my interest in the way Tae Kwon-Do has. Since joining the club I have progressed to an 7^th Kup have been named Senior Student of Year 2006 for my club. 

 

What I enjoy about Tae Kwon-Do:

I enjoy Tae Kwon-Do for many reasons, including the fact that my fitness has improved. In respect of Martial Arts skills I have learnt new techniques, patterns, and I have made new friends and have recently began entering competitions.

 

My future with Tae Kwon-Do:

It has now become my ambition to become a black belt. I also really enjoy helping the juniors at Saturday classes so who knows, maybe I could become an instructor one day! 

 

Anything else to say:

Since starting Tae Kwon-Do my confidence has been boosted, it has also allowed me to feel safer when I’m out in crowded places and on the streets after dark.

Snr Student

Name: Alex Hollywood

Why I started Tae Kwon-Do:

I started TKD because I wanted to learn self defense, I join last year with my son Connor when we moved to Wales from Scotland due to work, another reason I joined TKD was to gain Confidence within myself and also it has brought me and my son closer together if that was possible because we train together, we learn together and compete in competitions together. In my opinion TKD is a great Family sport.

 

What I enjoy about Tae Kwon-Do:

 I enjoy TKD for many reasons, my fitness has improved a lot and the respect that you gain when training. The friendships, Teamwork and challenges we face as well as being rewarded for your hard work.

 

My future with Tae Kwon-Do:

It has become my goal to gain my Black Belt and maybe an instructor at one of Mr Morton's Dojan's for as my instructors has always told us their is a Black Belt with our name on it for everyone who puts in the dedication and commitment. From day 1 I have been totally Hooked on TKD.

 

Anything else to say:

Before I Started training in TKD I was 21st in weight, In the last 9 months I have lost 5st because of Mr Morton pushing me to be the best that I can be, he has boosted my confidence a lot and as far as my Instructor Mr Morton goes he has saved my life from a possible heart attack in the future.
