Before I came to camp TKD was something I thought I had an average knowledge of. However, as the saying goes "before I was blind, now I see". I see that TKD is more than meets the eye - & it is those hidden aspects that will be my new focus and passion Doing a flying side kick and turning kick multiple board break in one go on my first attempt. I have found my new favourite technique!!
