I started taekwondo in June 2002 in Helston under the instruction of Mr Mike Beard 4th Dan ( now 5th Dan) with a view to improving my overall level of fitness. Enjoying the discipline, I progressed through the gradings whilst entering competitions including the Cornish Open, English, British, Southern Open and many more. Since starting taekwondo I have won 24 trophies and medals and have as yet have not come away from a competition empty handed. My greatest achievements have been to become world champion in October 2004 and to receive my black belt in July 2005.
