For the last few years I have often played with the idea of what I would do with myself after competing. Would I just move on, go into coaching, go in at a federation level? I realised this year how much I want to give back to Taekwondo! I have benefited so much and had so many incredible opportunities awarded to me through taekwondo and the martial arts that I count myself incredibly blessed. Where ever my life may lead me, I know Taekwondo and the martial arts will always be a part of my life and for that I am committed to making a difference in the world using my own experiences and teachings to move, touch and inspire.
In May this year I started forming ideas around setting up a Taekwondo foundation, program or initiative. Something that could grow, develop and make a difference. The surprising thing was I seemed to be considering doing it here in the UK. I figured if I could set something up here in London, then I could use the same idea and blueprint to eventually launch in South Africa.
In September this year, the Taekwondo project beat its first heartbeat. I took the plans out of my head, put them to paper and then made them real!
The result is Life-Kick. Our aim: To give our youth a kick start in life!
