How could it be otherwise when it comes to talking about me is impossible not to name something that is central to my life, Taekwondo .
I started this sport at the tender age of 6 years and have not stopped since. Like many children, my initial motivation was to learn to get the bowels to the first "bad" that crossed my path, giving double corkscrew somersault backwards without breaking a sweat and so many other things I observed in martial arts films of the day. Nothing is further from the truth.
Taekwondo, far from being, as many might think, a sport that promotes violence, is a way of understanding life, with respect for oneself and others. It is true that part of Taekwondo could be considered violent, but so is the sport that promotes the use of violence as a last resort and always in self defense.
Both have to see this sport in my life that has ended up becoming my work. For over 5 years in different schools I teach children between 5 and 12 years of age. Despite being a complementary work, it has become for me a major incentive, and I enjoy teaching immensely my students and seeing how they are progressing slowly.
Here's a video with a display of one of the best groups display in the world: Korean Tigers .
