Started at the age of 32 competing from yellow through to black belt in patterns, sparring & team events, (which always Inc. a team pattern & destruction in the final). Competed in world & International events. Became an Umpire then Referee & in between a full Instructor, and all I intended was to keep fit...... Lol.
MASTER CARTER
Hi all Miss Squeeky Phillips, those who remember Kaz and how dedicated she was. Karen was one of a kind always put the club first and always there from day one to help all the students to be as good as they come. Karen could do it all sparring, breaking and patterns. And good at Korean beer than me but could never get a point on me lol.
when Karen said she had to stop training as because of old age not TKD related, I was gutted really gutted as she knows best mate and still is. Very loyal and trust worthy and would always remember where she come from club first food second.
I might try and Karen to come and take a little lesson who knows she be ok for one.
Thank you Kaz I really appreciate all the time you spent with us and all the kids some now adults remember and will not forget your smile when teaching them on there first lesson.
