FAYE DONNELLY

Hi! My names Faye and i’ve been training in Taekwondo since i was 16. I progressed very quickly and became a black belt at the age of 20 due to committing a lot of my time to the sport during my late teenage years. Taekwondo has taught me to be extremely passionate, have self discipline and most importantly it has shown me to respect others through good conduct and sportsmanship.

CHRISTIE ADAM

I got offered an amazing opportunity to become a coach at Raw when I turned 16 and also this was when I achieved my black belt (first Dan). Becoming a coach at Raw was one of my best decisions that I have made as it helped my confidence grow more and more with each training session. It was also a dream of mine to work with young people and Raw made that dream possible for me.
