More about
Lushima:
Besides TKD, I
also practice Jiu-Jitsu and do some boxing. In my free time, I enjoy free-sketching,
writing music, and especially gaming. I can also sometimes be a bit of
a goof-ball. My three biggest weaknesses are fried foods, extreme weather,
and Facebook.
Thoughts about
the ECTC (INCTL) or Taekwondo in general:
I did Taekwondo
as a kid but stopped after less than a year. In high school, I rejoined
a Taekwondo and never looked back. Taekwondo has taught me a lot about
myself in a way I never expected. It helped me define my personality and
discover who I really am, and it became a way of life. The discipline,
respect, positive attitude, and the everlasting quest for improvement
are things that will stay with me for the rest of my days. The ECTC is
a fantastic way to spread the culture of Taekwondo, and I truly hope it
continues to build future refs, masters and great leaders for years to
come.
