I was representing my country Venezuela for 11 years, internationally. I started in Taekwondo at 23 years old, I had never practiced any sport before, I think it is a talent with which I came to this planet, at two and a half years I entered the National Taekwondo team. That moment marked a history in my sports and social life.

Taekwondo is a complete sport, that is, our entire physical body is strengthened in a balanced way, our mental and spiritual body is also strengthened.

_{Getting ready to teach taekwondo.}

In taekwondo 90% of kicks and 10% of punches are used. There are specific places where the points, the middle zone and the upper zone are marked.

To excel in this sport, in addition to physical conditions, we have to have a lot of discipline, perseverance, perseverance, self-control, humility and an indomitable spirit.

I retired at the competitive level in 2007, however today I still do my exercises, my taekwondo practices at home and sometimes I go to the beach and do them there.
