Master Paul has recently written a book dedicated to the philosophies and principles that he teaches in his mainstream program. The book is titled “Building People, not fighters,” sums up quickly what the book is intended to do. The book covers the time before children attend school and before they start high school. “It’s important to start early!” he says.

The book is intended to help the student to stand strong against adversity, understand the value in working with others and develop friendships that stand the test of time. Master Paul believes that we all should aim to not only raise our children to survive, but to thrive – and do so with passion, compassion, generosity, positivity, humour, confidence, and an incredible sense of belonging. United Taekwondo was established in 2006, so that Master Paul could more effectively follow is dream of delivering a world class martial arts education program.

The Taekwondo he delivers is world class, with the addition of a solid life skills program that is especially important for children. Master Paul believes that martial arts are far more than just a sport, and instructors must be well trained in all aspects of the discipline to ensure the right message is passed down the line.
