Bio:
I didn't start taekwondo until my third year of university, and now it's hard to imagine life without it. I never thought in the next three years I would go from barely being able to kick a target in training to sparring third degree black belts and becoming the student champion for my weight category. UCL Taekwondo is my home club and I would say it's a testament to the quality of the club and the coaching that I've come this far. I would urge anyone on the verge of trying a new sport to just go for it as you never know where it's going to take you! It's never too late to do what you love, even if what you love is kicking people in the head.
