Meet Neel Makkar.

​​

Neel's hobbies are; chess, Taekwondo, swimming,

reading, jumping rope, lego robotics, Roblox . . .

 Neel had no martial art experience prior to

Fair Lawn Taekwondo. He watched videos on

YouTube of other kids doing it and wanted to try it.

​

"Master Yoon helps motivate me to do good,

obey teachers and respect parents." - Neel

​

Taekwondo helped Neel gain discipline and consistency. 

Now, after Fair Lawn Taekwondo, I'm not afraid of challenges.

Neel's motivation to work hard is to reach black belt!

​

"I learned how to protect my little brother." - Neel 

​

Neel's proudest accomplishments was

reaching his junior black belt in Taekwondo,

and joining the swim force team; where you do

continuous one hour of swimming!!!

 

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

 

"It's a fun place, where you learn how to kick and punch!"

 

When asked, what advice would you give your

younger self and older self, 

​

"I would tell my younger self, just keep going.

I would tell my older self, glad I did it!"

​

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

 

"I would like to be an engineer,

or professional swimmer, or basketball player."

​

When asked, how will your training from

Fair Lawn Taekwondo help you achieve your goals, 

 

"My training will help me to stay strong and disciplined."
