Introduction

I began Taekwondo in 1992, after I saw a Taekwondo Class running at the local school in Bangkok, Thailand. Taekwondo was my favourite and best childhood memory, I always looked forward to training. Ever since I was a colour belt, I helped by assisting in classes. When I attained my Black Belt, my instructor invited me to teach at some of his schools. That’s where my journey as an Instructor began.

In 2007, I came to Sydney, I had a great opportunity to meet Grandmaster Sam Loiacono, who invited me to be Referee in Australia.

Since I moved to Australia, I never really imagined I would become an Instructor again. Grandmaster Sam gave me a fantastic opportunity and invited me to Hills District Martial Arts, which provided me with a lifestyle that I can do the things I love, and teach others who share that passion.

Taekwondo has given me a great life both physically and mentally, and given me so many opportunities. It helped me to discover the world and helped me to be a better person every day.
