Profile
Newcastles Regional Instructor Greg Dovey has always enjoyed swimming, fishing, golf & water skiing but when Greg got married and started a family his thoughts naturally turned to the responsibilities of looking after his family.
With limited spare time on his hands and not being aggressive by nature, Greg decided that hitting a punching bag might be a good way to maintain his fitness and also thought it would be a great way to build more self confidence.
At age 31 and after punching the bag for an hour or so each day for some months a work colleague invited Greg to a Taekwondo training session at the Rathmines Centre near Lake Macquarie. “How good is this” and “Where Do I Sign” thought Greg after just one training session.
Greg trained relentlessly for 3 years and finally attained 1st Dan Black Belt but not content with just training anymore and wanting to share his knowledge of the art art with everyone Greg now had a yearning to teach.
After meeting Master Hicks in 2003 Greg established the Toronto branch of the World Shim Jang Taekwondo Academy.
Now, years later and a 2nd Dan Black Belt Greg is a member of the W.S.T.A Executive Committee He is also the Regional Instructor for the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie region and still enjoys teaching his two classes at Toronto and Rathmines.
Greg is also a regular face at the Academy’s National Training Camp and believes the camp is a must for all members. “Advanced techniques and training with the Academy’s most senior instructors is something you won’t forget and the Gold Coast is an ideal venue for the experience” says Greg.
Instructor Greg believes that everybody should give Shim Jang Taekwondo a go because self defence, fitness & good health are vital ingredients to help us enjoy our lives and Greg reckons that Shim Jang Taekwondo training is an ideal way keep our body in ship shape condition.
If you are ever in Toronto or Rathmines be sure to catch a class with Greg and his students.
