La Loma, Training Camp in San Luis Potosi, Mexico

From March 23rd to the 31st, I had the honor of going with the Stanford Taekwondo team to San Luis Potosi, Mexico to train with athletes at the La Loma High Performance Altitude Training Center. For 5 days straight, we trained 3 times a day living and breathing Taekwondo. The director of the camp, Ireno Fargas, is a close friend of Tim Ghormley, the head coach for Stanford Taekwondo. Coach Fargas even gave us 1 of the training days for Stanford to lead and show the 300+ athletes in attendance what is current in sport Taekwondo, both poomsae and sparring.  

This was a trip I will remember for years to come, especially after gaining new friends both in the Stanford team and in Mexico. Thank you to Coach Ghormley, Stanford Taekwondo, and Ireno Fargas for giving me the rare opportunity to train and be part of your Taekwondo community.
