SEPTEMBER 2021

Meet Diego De La Cruz.

He is fourteen years old and a blue belt.

​​

Diego enjoys drawing, swimming, and reading.

​

 Diego had a no martial art experience prior to

Fair Lawn Taekwondo. He started Taekwondo because

he wanted to learn self defense and be more disciplined.

​

​

Taekwondo helped Diego gain healthier habits,

more flexibility and better coordination.

​

"I have a clearer mind now and I feel

more confident in making decisions." - Diego​

​

Diego's proudest accomplishment is when he got his blue belt.

What keeps him motivated is the self defense and self control

he learns from Taekwondo.

 

 When asked, what advice would you give to a new student,

 

"Don't give up, even with a pandemic."

 

When asked, what advice would you give your

younger self and older self, 

​

"To my younger Diego: Don’t get frustrated with bullies.

They just need to get people‘s attention."

 

"To my older Diego: Live every day as it comes."

​

When asked, what would you like to be when you grow up, 

 

"I would like to be an art teacher."

​

When asked, how will your training from

Fair Lawn Taekwondo help you achieve your goals, 

 

"My training from Fair Lawn Taekwondo will help me with discipline, confidence, and self control. These traits are necessary in every career."
