​

More about Joseph: I really enjoy tricking. I picked it up after learning how to do 540 and 720 kicks, and I just kept trying more and more trick kicks, and now I love it as much as I love TKD. I snowboard in the winter, although I haven't had the chance to go out west yet, and I also enjoy golfing. I enjoy random day trips/road trips to places, although they almost always seem to revolve around food...I love food...and hoodies...and shoes

Thoughts on the ECTC (INCTL) or Taekwondo in general: I have been practicing Tang Soo Do since I was five, although I took a little break after I turned 16. I trained very lightly for a few years, and picked up Taekwondo last year when I transferred to Penn State from a satellite campus. I have no regrets, except not having started practicing TKD sooner. The people and the atmosphere at ECTC tournaments have always been positive, and I've had a great time at the few tournaments that I have been able to attend. I think the ECTC is a great conference and will help the sport of olympic tkd grow for many years to come.
