Zoltan left for Korea on the 21st June 2000
after being in Malaysia for six years and
I had an opportunity to chat with him. This
32 year old Hungarian, (affectionately known
as Zoli) chose Taekwondo from the numerous
arts of self-defense simply because he like
Taekwondo. Asked why he chose BTFC, her
replied that BTFC was well known and a friend
had introduced him to Master Woon six years
ago.
He claimed that Taekwondo training made
him physically and mentally strong, sustaining
injuries is an inevitable part of Taekwondo,
therefore, he took up "Shiatsu"
a Japanese therapy for treating injusries
and "Reiki" specializing in the
art of treating injuries with "chi"
(both of which he acquired in Malaysia).
Zoli also plans to pass on his shiatsu and
reiki knowledge while in Korea.
Learning languages is also one of his interests,
as he travels, he makes it a point to learn
the native tongue of the country he is in,
where he can understand better how different
people with different culture experess themselves.
He is the second Hungarian in the world
to be qualified in Bahasa Melayu, and is
currently learning Korean Language to prepare
himself for his trip to korea. he intends
to write a book on Taekwondo in near future
and what better way to do it by visiting
the country of its origin.
Staying in Malaysia has been the turning
point in his life in many ways. Thoughout
the 6 years of hard training under the guidance
of Master Woon, he has attained his 2nd
Dan Black Belt. Before he came to Malaysia,
he had thought that Asians were unfriendly
but it proved otherwise. He feels that Malaysia
is a very comfortable and peaceful country
to live in compared to the countries he
had visited.
Zoltan's parting message is "to go
for things that makes you happy. never settle
for what you do not like, as only happiness
will make your life worth living."
He wish to take this opportunity to thank
Master Woon for his patience and guidance,
throughout the 6 years in Malaysia.
He will be in Korea at Shin Shung College
under professor Han Kwon Sang (a close friends
of Master Woon) for intensive Taekwondo
training.
We from BTFC wish him all
the best and good luck!!
