I originally started about 20 years ago to accompany my friend who was a boxer at the time. I moved away for 15 years, had kids and all that and became obsesssed with cycling. As is the way of modern life about 4 years ago my longterm relationship came to an end and I moved back to my parents for a while to lick my wounds. I threw myself into my job and consequently had a major heart attack in September 2009.
Anyway, as I was recovering from my heart attack I had to go through 3 months of post heart attack rehabilitation which took place down at my local gym. 3 months after my heart attack I brought home the bronze medal in the North Wales Taekwondo open. It was then that I decided to up the ante and decided that some strengthening was needed for me to perform better.
In september 2012 I had a major fall off my cycle which busted my hip and shoulder, ergo no more taekwondo. I've finally reurned to the gym in May this year with the thought of getting back into taekwondo and competing again
