Here’s my girl at the #northwestmartialarts tournament in Fargo! She studies and trains and does her best to apply what she’s learning! Gold in patterns and gold in sparring, she is definitely daddy’s girl! This was her first Tkd tournament with head shots.

“I’d rather regret the risks that didn’t work out than the chances I didn’t take at all.” - Simone Biles A philosophy to take into the new year!
What a road to recovery for nearly a year from my leg injury, the horrible pain I endured, a seriously torn hamstring tendon. ❤️🩹 I still attended classes and worked on rehab exercises. Been missing all those tournaments and high kicks, but I’m hoping to get back into it after the new year - a new year, a new start. I am grateful for the support I received from my teammates and especially the instructors/Masters at the Dojang. • #inspire #inspiration #eastvantaekwondo #eastvancouvertaekwondo #taekwondo #nstkd #bctaekwondofederation #taekwondokids #martialarts #martialartslife #tournament #sparring #kicks #vancouver #vancity #blackbelt #yvr #tkd #tkdcanada #tkdkids #poomsae #sports #fitness #strength #fitnessmotivation #fitnessinspiration #determination #resilience #courage #perseverance

I’m very grateful for opportunity to work with Master Tony Kook and all the instructors again for the photo session.

“One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.” - Kareem Abdul-Jabba
Two legends with a chance encounter! Grandmaster Suh saw one of his former students the other day, Gurv. Gurv and his brother Harv trained under Grandmaster Suh and became black belts. Normally, if someone says that they want to be a WWE superstar when they grow up, it may not be taken so seriously. However, Gurv and Harv are living proof that no matter how big your goals are, they can be accomplished through hard work, dedication and determination. All of us at McBride OMAC Taekwondo and OMAC Taekwondo are proud of all of your achievements!
This is a kind reminder that the dojang will be closed for our annual winter break starting Monday, December 25th and re-opening Monday, January 8th. We will be running open mat sessions December 27th/28th and January 3rd/4th from 2:00pm-4:00pm. From all of us at McBride OMAC Taekwondo, we are wishing you a safe and joyous break!
“The hardest skill to acquire in this sport is the one where you compete all out, give it all you have, and you are still getting beat no matter what you do. When you have the killer instinct to fight through that, it is very special.” —Eddie Reese
“Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” — Mark Twain Tom is one of our most ambitious, determined students we’ve ever had.
