Meet Eliraz Vaknin.

He is 9 years old and black belt with one white stripe.

​​

Eliraz started Taekwondo
because he really wanted to have confidence!

​

Training was at times challenging, 
but Eliraz pushed through learning his

forms, kicking, and breaking techniques. He has been

breaking boards since he was 6 years old, when

he first started Taekwondo. In the 3 years he has

been coming to Taekwondo, he has gained self-confidence,

faster moves, and he became stronger. 

 

What motivated him to work hard is his courage.

Taekwondo has made me THINK differently.

 

Eliraz's proudest accomplishment was

getting to do his black belt test with his friend, Henry.

What is his advice to other students and new students,

​

"Always work hard with courage."​

​

Eliraz would like to be a hair stylist when he grows up.

 

"NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS."
