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

I have been doing Taekwondo since I was 6, and competed at the national level for several years. I took a 5 year hiatus all of high school and my first year of college, during which I rowed varsity crew. I returned back to Taekwondo at Cornell, and I fell in love with the sport again. The feeling of going into a ring and sparring is such an amazing feeling that I never thought I would experience again. The ECTC is a great community that nurtures and brings together competitors from all different schools. The league challenges and supports us to be better Taekwondoists.
