"Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Only then will you know how low it is" 

Personal
" For me Taekwondo is about self defense, great overall health, and learning of the art. Gaining strength and confidence through Taekweondo training has resulted  in an approach to life where I am more gentle and understanding dealing with people in my professional and personal life"
