My two kids are training since some years and the elder is now black belt. This is a sport that I recommend mainly to kids, as it teaches discipline, fitness and focus, and to the women, as it teaches very convincing self defence tactics.
In order to celebrate this new position, allow me to show some pictures we did in May 2009 during a regional competition in Kenya (Nairobi - Kasarani Stadium). Uganda Team did so well, my kid, for this first competition, managed to get a bronze medal. It was such a great experience for him and for all of us.
The Uganda Taekwondo national team, with myself (the white guy), my wife and two kids (just behind the table). The team collected more than 10 medals and four trophies, the best one being the most supportive team.
Despite those angels' face, these guys are real killaz ;-) My son, Kassim (second left), with his bronze medal.
The first TV interview of Kassim. He appeared on Kenya Broacasting Corporation the day after. We were all so excited. It is true that sport can really be a family stuff.
Actually the new board of the UTF was created following resignation of the former Chairman. The resignation is a polite word to hide the facts, the guy was propely toppled by the board due to mismanagement claims.... It is therefore our duty to clean the reputation of amateurish federation. If we manage to uplift the Federation, I'll definitely update you on this.
