Taekwon Ms El Bey, hope i have that right if not apologies, i have seen some of the photos taken at the worlds, i'd pity those bus stop kids if you had started earlier.
Taekwon Master Reid, Master El Bey, i am curious about how one becomes Master. Are you required to do a special Master test or are they appointed based on your years of experience?
Taekwon Master Reid, Thank you Sir, i also see as a student how much effort and work goes into to being the Instructor. I truly felt Master Demer's passion for teaching during our very first test. He was pushing me for sure but the encouragement and excitement in his voice was next level. It was not yelling or making me feel poorly, it was genuine excitement when i tried to do whatever technique he was asking of me. The same can be be said about Master Ford, who often talks about the "BIG L" Lazy as she calls it. I feel the passion that all our instructors have for teaching General Choi art. While i have not had the opportunity to train with you Sir, Mr Connolly has and he oftens talks about certain things that he took away from your teachings and brought them into our class.
I saw this movie and was in my first class within 2 weeks! Never stopped since....and this song played on my walkman constantly back in 1984! What inspired you you to start your martial art journey?
I was not in a position to start martial arts when i was young but honestly for me it was Bruce Lee. I always wanted to do a martial art and one day i was walking up to the royal bank and ran into our good friends and neighbours the Goldings. I had no idea Fisher Park offered TKD. After a rather lengthy chat about it Miss Golding sold me on it signed up that September at 50 with my youngest daughter Rhiannon and haven’t looked back.
