Fred
Pace
Instructor
Fred pace with 15 years of experience in Taekwondo and Martial Arts training:
"I began Taekwondo as a reserved child at the tender age of 6 years old. Since my very first class I fell in love with the sport and haven’t looked back! Taekwondo has taught me a vast amount of life lessons that I will carry through my life and I will be forever grateful that my parents signed me up to a Martial Art. As an instructor at Mozhdeh Martial Arts it is a pleasure to see the students develop into superb Martial Artists. It is a joy to see each student push themselves to their own limits and boundaries. Through this, it keeps me on my toes and passionate for my own improvement! As every child learns in different ways, it gives me great thrill to see the passion the students display as they are learning the craft of Taekwondo. If my students walk away with one or two things out of Taekwondo and martial arts then I am confident that they will live a positive and productive life."
