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.
