However, when I came to Korea, I fortunately found the Academy program for foreign workers which is run by the Multicultural Support Center.

- It is not easy to exercise everyday after hard work. How do you exercise consistently?

The biggest reason was for health. I'm in good health now. Before Taekwondo, I was really weak. I have always had a headache and stomache, but when I began Taekwondo, everything has gone, and it made me possible to harder work. Another reason is that I like the kick of Taekwondo. I like all kicking movements. As the kick technique improve, it was joyful. So I continue.
