Belt: Black
Instructor: Master Chae Mun
Dojang: America Taekwondo Center
Years Training: 7
Currently Competing: Yes

Personal Goal:
My personal Goal in Taekwondo is to Become a Master and instruct under Master Mun, because I want to help not only people but communities, the same as Master Mun has done. My short term goal is to become a great fighter and meet mine, and my team captain Andrew Suh's expectations. While training I would attend college and achieve my other goal of becoming a Business major.

How Master Mun and Taekwondo Has Helped Me

Taekwondo has changed my life completeley, I would have never dreamed of achieving something so great for myself. It boosted my confidence to a point where i'm humble, it helped me loose all the excess weight and made me who I am today. I am a very happy person thanks to the ATC staff. I am greatful that I have such good people in my life and I would not change it for anything.

Training

Diego Castro dedicates 6 days a week to Taekwondo training in class as well as training with Team ATC. Diego enjoys helping train less experienced ATC students while teaching them to be patient, and confident as he himself learned in his years training under Master Chae Mun.

When not training Diego remains active by competing in Taekwondo tournaments throughout the year.
