Bryan Scott

Bryan is a 1st degree black belt, and has been with the club since 1989. Bryan has stepped down from an executive position to focus more attention on his new son and daughter. Bryan is an example to the club in his clean execution of fundamental movements, as well as crisp patterns. He enjoys working with the children on their patterns, as well as on knife defences with the adults. Here's a brief conversation with Bryan:

What do you love about TKD?
I love the positive changes that have taken place in myself and that I have observed taking place in others. TKD is a mind-set, not a sport.

What is your favourite TDK Technique, and why?
My lack of a "favourite" makes me smile. TKD lets me focus in ambidextrous movements that range from simple to complex. This has helped keep my interest in TKD for years. I guess my “favourite” would be the next elusive technique that I am trying to learn.

What advice might you have for younger or new TKD practitioners?
Don't just listen to the tenets, internalize them. They will help you envision and focus your life's purpose while enabling you to grow in a positive manner.

What are you favourite pastimes?Without question my family has become my favourite pastime. I also enjoy time with my friends, camping, reading and travelling.

Favourite sports?
I have never spent much time watching sports. Although I currently have little time for sports other than TKD, I enjoy playing volleyball, soccer, badminton, hockey, squash, curling, tube water polo, skiing, pool, rollerblading, etc.

Current job/career/studies?
Senior Systems Architect.

Any TKD Distinctions?
Certified FAST Defence Instructor/Bulletman
