#breakingpodcast #podcast #toronto

In this episode of Breaking, we sit down with Master Akmal Farah, CEO and coach at Authentic Taekwondo in Markham.

Master Farah began his Taekwondo practice in April of 1994 and in 1997 he went on to win his first Canadian National Championships in the Bantam weight division. He credits his motivation and inspiration to Grand Master Young Su Choung and Coach Tino Dossantos. Master Farah has competed at many world championships, Pan American and other international events successfully. He has finished top 8 at the world championships and earned a bronze medal at the Pan Am Championships, through 4 years on the Nationals Team. During his tenure on Team Canada he served many terms as its team captain, where he now brings that same dedication and drive to Authentic Taekwondo.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

• Fleeing a war-torn country and immigrating to Canada.

• Learning to make sacrifices at a young age for his family.

• Adjusting to a new lifestyle and not taking things for granted.

• How he dealt with racism in the 80s and 90s and how it has molded his stance on bullying.

• Helping children understand how they can use their voice to communicate how they feel instead of using physical violence when faced with bullying.

• Taking losses as lessons.

• And much more.
