My therapy wasn’t the only thing that got me to where I am
today. If it wasn't for the martial arts studio, Sun-Hang-Do, I definitely wouldn’t have
the confidence to write this blog.
Sun–Hang–Do
is a Korean martial art that only exists within the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, with 9 locations including Abbotsford and Vancouver, and its' membership
count is likely over 1000 people of all ages.
I
started Sun-Hang-Do at age 9 and the reason I got started on it wasn’t because
I wanted to get fit, but because I wanted to know karate like SpongeBob did. But
every martial arts studio my parents tried would not take me
because of my autism. Finally, they tried the Abbotsford Sun-Hang-Do gym and my
master, Brian Kinney, didn’t care about my autism. He brought me in for a trial
lesson, saw my potential, and here I am a recently turned 2nd
Degree Black Belt. I have been training for 7 years and I would love to keep going at it.
Sun-Hang-Do
has taught me responsibility, maturity, and stress control. It has also helped me handle
situations better, given me confidence, higher self-estem, and has kept me
in good heath. I greatly thank my parents for setting me up for Sun-Hang-Do, and I thank my Master Brain Kinney
and all of the instructors that have helped me get this far.
