Age: 12
Grade: 8th kup (yellow belt)

Why did you start Taekwon-Do?
I mainly joined Taekwon-Do because my friend Lucas did and I didn’t do any other sports.

What’s your favourite part of class?
Sparring. Because I like to show my show my kicks and spar with my friends.

What has surprised you the most about training?
The different meanings and having to learn a different language.

Where do you see yourself in a year?
To grade successful to my Green belt, I want to do more competitions.

When you’re not training, what do you like to do?
Play video games like Fortnite, I like play as Dream

Tommy will soon be entering his first Taekwon-Do tournament, the BTF British Championships in Hereford, where he will compete in Patterns, Sparring and Power. We wish him the best of luck!
