Receive Text UpdatesI love the complexities involved in the many facets of Taekwondo. Technique and precision is what makes Taekwondo unique. Taekwondo teaches perseverance, respect, indomitable spirit, self control, courtesy and integrity. I love competing in sparring, forms and weapons. I have won multiple gold, silver and bronze metals in multiple tournaments.
My family always pushed me to do my best. My fellow students and instructors support me in everything I do. My mom and dad are there with me every step of the way believing in me even when I don't believe in myself. They push me to never give up. Croft Martial Arts is a family. Everyone involved there supports eachother in all aspects of life. They are excited for any achievement whether it be good grades, excelling in another sport, art or music.
I have trained very hard for the past 2.5yrs. I have dedicated my time inside and outside of the dojang to become the best I can be. Only 1 out of every 10,000 people that start Taekwondo achieve Black Belt. I was able to accomplish this in 2.5yrs. Most students take 4 to 5 years to accomplish this if they don't quit. I set a goal and pushed myselt through rigorous training physically and mentally to reach it. I also spends time with other students helping them with forms.
