My son Aidan started with Gibb's Taekwondo in Benalla when he was 7. At the time he was bullied at school and we wanted Aidan to learn to defend and protect himself.
We have watched him achieve each belt grading over the last 5 years and with it gain in self-confidence thanks to Tony’s expert instruction.
He is keen to achieve his black belt and participate in more competitions so I started taking him to an extra class in Wangaratta. As a result of my sitting there watching I began to think about joining myself.
There were a couple of other mums training who were very supportive and I thought if they could do it so could I! So I'm very proud of passing my first grading recently and look forward to Aidan's and my achievements in the future.
