I started doing TKD when I was 6 years old after I saw kids doing TKD from the tap dancing class that my mom put me in at the Y because I was too small and uncoordinated to play any sports.  I got up to purple belt with Jim Kramer before Frank began teaching at the Y.  Frank taught several forms and three steps that Jim did not, and the transition caused me
to spend a very long time at purple belt before earning my brown belt.

 

Frank awarded me the 2002 Student of the Year award for my determination and never giving up.  I still enjoy TKD ten years later because I enjoy getting a good, fun workout and the great team environment.  I also very much enjoy teaching at the kids class and in the back of the room to help everyone else get better.

 

I would recommend TKD to people becuase of the fun, hard workout that comes with each class and the support that everyone in the organization gives each other.  My goals are quite simple, and they are to continue to improve my abilities and do as well as I can in every aspect of TKD, and also to help others do the same.  I hope to one day open
up my own classes.
