Why did you start Taekwon-Do?
I started at a young age and built confidence and fitness.

My favourite part of training is either breaking or self defence.

I am most looking forward to doing my black grading in the future.

What advice would you give to someone starting Taekwon-Do?
The piece of advice I'd give to someone starting Taekwon-Do is the amount of effort you put in is the amount of reward you get out of it.
