The era that you were starting in, there weren't as many choices.

Right.

Yeah.

Well, I realized that when I went to Jean-Jacques' place, that there's levels in teaching.

And, you know, obviously Hickson's school was very high level and Carlson's was too, but Carlson's went under pretty quickly.

They weren't around that long.

But then when I went to Jean-Jacques's, I was like, okay, this is a completely different level.

Like Jean-Jacques is so detail-oriented.

I was also very lucky that I started doing Taekwondo when I was a child so that I always listened.

And the traditional martial arts environment, there's no room for questioning.

They don't allow any question.

And I was also very lucky that the school that I started at was one of the best schools in the world.

I just got lucky.

I found this Jaehyun Taekwondo, Jaehyun Kim Taekwondo Institute in Boston.

Just happened to have multiple national champions, like really elite competitors.

And so I never questioned.

I always did.

And I never did anything half-assed.

I always did it exactly.

That's how you develop the right technique.
