Thoughts on the ECTC (INCTL) or Taekwondo in general:

I started Taekwondo at the age of seven, but in 2004, my family and I moved to Beijing so I stopped training soon after to focus on academics. I feel extremely blessed to continue TKD under the training of Master Rex Hatfield and Master Ji Ho Choi at Princeton and fortunate to have the opportunity to continue competing. It's such a great feeling to get back into the sport, and especially experiencing the team aspect of it, meet new friends, fight against top competitors, and grow in both mind and body. I can't imagine college without TKD!
