OUR INSTRUCTOR

PHYLIX JEON

I am currently in training to be an instructor and assist Mr. Jeon with a few classes. I enjoy working with children and have a passion for Taekwondo. I have been training with Mr. Jeon for around ten years, so I’m familiar with how we run things at Jeon’s Taekwondo. I mainly teach beginner and intermediate classes, because I find that I work best with younger children. I’m not a particularly loud or extroverted person, but I can and will be a good leader for our students. Respect is a huge aspect of many martial arts, and I believe that respect needs to be mutual. Give and take, per se. So, when I give respect to the students, I expect it to be respected back.

One of the Taekwondo experiences Ms. Wong treasures dearly is performing with the demonstration team.

ELLIOT LIM

I started Taekwondo at around Grade 2 in 2015 and became a student of Mr. Jeon at around 2017. I have always loved Taekwondo taking every chance to learn more about it. At the end of junior high, I recived my black belt and also developed a strong passion for teaching. Given the chance to teach at Jeon's Traditional Taekwondo, it was an oppertunity I couldn't give up. As an instructor, I believe my duty is to create an environemnt where learning can be done by both the students and myself. My goal as a teacher is to facilitate the growth of my students and make them the best version of themselves. Furthermore, I believe strongly in the importance of independence. My belief is that improvement and growth does not come from the teacher, but it comes from the students efforts. Coming the Taekwondo and practicing requires you to leave your comfort zone and demands great efforts. I am proud of the students of Jeons Traditional Taekwondo for putting their beat efforts everytime they come to practice
