A Real Legend

Sad news I'm afraid. I found out the the Taekwondo intstructor I had in the very early 90s when I first moved to Miami died two years ago. This news had more of an effect on me that I thought it would. I used to go to Taekwondo three times a week, and made it all the way to 1st degree black belt, something that when I tell people I've only known a short while, seems to shock them.

He was a class chap as well. Always nice, welcoming, light hearted, and warm. The instructors he had under his wing were great blokes too. I found out one of my favourite instructors actaully won the world championships a few years ago.

I also thought he looked just like a superhero. Square jaw and big shoulders.
