Meet Philip Atanasovski.

He is 8 years old and a junior black belt.

​​

Philip had prior experience in martial arts,

before training at Fair Lawn Taekwondo.
 

Philip's parents thought that Taekwondo

would be good for him, to keep him active.

Once he tried it, he loved it.

​

Training was at times challenging.

"I had to work hard on my forms 

and improve my kicking."

​

 

What motivates Philip to continue to work hard

is the love for Taekwondo, "I like when I do all the exercises."

 

​

Philip's proudest accomplishment was when he was

doing his red belt test. "I was a little worried that I will not be

able to break all the boards, but once I did it, I was so proud."

What is his advice to other students and new students,

"Always try your best."

​

What is his advice to his younger self and older self, 

"Younger self: Don’t talk back to people (especially your mom);

to older self - always be kind."

​

How will your training from Fair Lawn Taekwondo

help you achieve your goals?

"By teaching me to be more kind and help other people"
