More about Christine:

Christine started taekwondo during her sophomore year in college. Before, she played volleyball and was a member of the varsity tennis team in high school. Although her sister does taekwondo, Christine never thought she would one day also be a taekwondoist!

Thoughts about the ECTC (INCTL) and Taekwondo in General:

Being part of MIT Sport TKD and competing in the ECTC has been one of the highlights of my college years. The ECTC turns taekwondo into a team sport, and it has been a very fulfilling experience to fight for, and with, my teammates in competition.
