rising star....

The beginning:

I was 10 years old when I started taekwondo -I wanted to do it because I was inspired to achieve. When I first started I didn’t want to fight because I found it scary but on one Sunday I tried it out and I fell in love with the sport.

My first tournament was in Hereford and I got 2nd place. After that I kept competing. I have only lost about 6 fights but the rest have been a success.

The 29th June 2014 was one of the biggest days of my life - I took my black belt grading in Holland. I took in Holland because I was too good for Wales for my age. I passed so I am now a black belt.

The future:

I am currently training to go to the World Championships next March. I love fighting - it’s my favourite thing to do in taekwondo. I’m now going to Ireland in November for a really big tournament.

I am a member for U.T.I WALES- it is a really good team with some amazing fighters .
