To be honest will you, this is probably my most difficult blog to write thus far. Yesterday, I got back from a trip of a life time. I was in Italy competing at my third World Championships but this was my first time in the age 18-34 adult division. I ended up placing 3rd in … Read more
I’m very proud of myself! That may sound like a weird thing to say but it’s true. The last month has been brutal for many reasons but it hasn’t stopped me. There were so many times during the last couple years that it would have been easier and totally justifiable to not go through with this years World … Read more
I definitely had more ups and downs than normal during 2014 but I guess its all part of growing up. Every Christmas I review my blog and make a quick recap of the year and I always feel extremely grateful for the things that I’ve been able to accomplish (despite the challenges) and the experiences I’ve had. It also … Read more
Congratulations to Mr. LeGrow for hosting his biggest and most successful TKD tournament ever. There were 275 competitors from Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, Puerto Rico and Jamaica. I didn’t compete since I’m still waiting for the MRI on my foot which will be December 1st. I can’t wait to get the results … Read more
Last weekend was the Canadian TKD Championships and they were extremely stressful! Not only was this the Nationals, but the Selections for Team Canada to go to the 2015 World Championships in Italy. Only the top 2 competitors in each division qualify. I have competed injured in past competitions and that is just part of the job. However, I had … Read more
With my new University and work schedule I am not able to always get to my regular classes with my Instructor Mr. Legrow at Team Blackburn. Mr. LeGrow encouraged me to seek out local dojangs or facilities that I could rent out while they aren’t being used for some extra training to prepare myself for … Read more
I am so happy that Mr. LeGrow was able to bring the mats from the old dojang to the new training space. It made such a HUGE difference in the training. I love how the new space feels open and light with the high ceilings. It has the same atmosphere as a tournament and it doesn’t … Read more
SCHOOL -I just started university last month and I’m loving it!!! I’ve been adjusting to the new dynamics of longer classes filled with hundreds of students in each class and not knowing a single person. There is more time in between classes so I’ve been working hard at keeping up with all the readings and assignments. I am in … Read more
While I was in Halifax at MacKenzie TKD for the week I also gave a three hour sparring seminar. This was another dream come true for me. I would love to spend a few years travelling the world learning from Masters and Grandmasters and then sharing what I’ve learned. I’ve been given so much knowledge from my Instructor Mr. LeGrow while he … Read more
So many amazing things happened in June I wasn’t able to keep up with my posts. In June I already wrote about: The amazing TKD Seminar with Master Kou (my previous instructor), Master Suarez and Master Affatigato from New York City About giving kick boxing classes at the Relay for Life My experience travelling to Nova Scotia for the Canadian … Read more
