Instructor Harry SON, 2nd Dan
Majoring in Bachelor of Physical EducationHello, my name is Instructor Harry Son. I am 2nd Dan black belt, and was named instructor early this year by Master Oh. I started my Tae Kwon Do in 2005 from scratch in the very club I'm training now- Se Jong Tae Kwon Do, City.
I thought, besides getting more exercise, Tae Kwon Do would somehow magically make me more tougher, and teach me tricks that I could show off to friends. When I first started to train in the Se Jong Club, I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and energy that every student had, and quickly fell in love with the sport.
Eager to learn and, truthfully, show off, I began to participate in every off-club activities including the tournaments, demonstrations at Santa Parades, and Lantern Festivals held at the Auckland City.
It is those times that I started to realise the true potential and teachings of Tae Kwon Do, which was not just about training the body and showing off, but to have peace within one's self, being disciplined and well mannered.
When I look at this great sport/martial art now, I feel that it is an opportunity for everyone to discover themselves and realise their potential. From then on, I felt honored to train with other students who shared the same idea, and promised to myself that I would teach others what I have learnt from this sport. I received my 2nd Dan black belt in 2007, and still continuing to grade for higher level.
I hope, by training at our club, you can also feel the same sense of accomplishment that I had felt, and I look forward to the next training with you and your friends and family.
