Master Woodhouse with Taekwondo students at Xiamen University
My dreams of being a Martial Artist in the Art of Taekwondo began 21 years ago in London, Ontario, Canada – a dream which ultimately led to being a competitor, and now a First Class National Referee, an Associate Instructor at Tri Star Taekwondo WTF (with Master Sai Visouvath, who’ve I’ve known since day one) and finally onto representing Canada internationally in various capacities including being appointed by WTF Canada as Head of Team position.
I was recently accepted by Hui Ya Chen (a very friendly competitor who I met at the 2005 Universiade in Turkey) as an honorary guest instructor at his Xiamen University Taekwondo Academy in Fujian, China. It was an honour and pleasure to present a different perspective to the students during a week of training involving all aspects of Taekwondo.

I was even more pleased to hear after my return that nine of his ten black belt competitors had qualified in their respective divisions, and will compete in the upcoming Chinese National Championship in early 2007 . It was a real honour to meet such wonderful Taekwondo practitioners, and a trip which I certainly hope to repeat some day.
