FEATURED STUDENT
Susan
Moore has been with Sandalwood since its first class and is our first
Yellow Belt. Susan puts her whole heart into every technique she
performs and is a stickler for detail. When asked why she chose
Sandalwood, she said she started Taekwon-Do because of wanting to do
something that she had never tried before and which was a
complete departure from her University Graduate studies.
Outside the Dojang, Susan is in the final stages of completing her PhD in Biochemistry, in itself an incredible accomplishment to say the least. She has also been an active Teacher’s Assistant at the University, as well as volunteering in the community. To top it all off she is a full time Aunt and mentor to Elspeth Easton, another fine Sandalwood student.It is likely that after graduation, employment opportunities will draw her away from the island, but Susan will always have a special place in the history of Sandalwood Martial Arts and will always be welcome in our Dojang. She is an exemplary roll model for women and men alike and we are pleased to have her as a student and friend.![]() Susan showing her stuff at a demo. Inspiration
is often drawn from
historical figures, or from
people who are considered to have accomplished great things. Also, when
witnessing excellence, it is easy to be more impressed by the
culmination than by the incredible journey, or the great effort, that
lead to it. However, the struggles and achievements of our fellow
martial artists, whatever their size or status, should not be
overlooked as they can be the source of great inspiration.
Sandalwood Martial Arts is pleased to recognize the endeavours and accomplishments of its students. This page is dedicated to acknowledging their notable efforts and successes. We have numerous students worthy of such notice, so visit often to see who is featured.Feature on James Down March 2002
