Proudly competing at National and International levels, like PanAm Games and World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships, these young adults train relentlessly and diligently to earn a spot at representing BC or Canada. Having a strong mindset and knowing that they have a loyal team and family behind them is what keeps these talented athletes growing.

"Taekwondo may be an individual sport, but the effort definitely is not. So when I get a chance to stand on the podium, the whole team stands up with me."

“While ambition is imperative for success; ambition is also man’s greatest inherent flaw. Moderation is imperative for contentment.”
Daniel Zhen
Megan Yung
"In Taekwondo, the journey is just as important as the destination. The personal growth and friendships made through training are far more gratifying than any medal."
Ivan Leung
"When I compete, I only think of myself so I am always calm and focused on the things I'm doing.
Don't be sad if you lose, next time you can learn from your mistakes and do better or even win.”
