......	I officially started training June 6th 1989 and whilst covering classes for my instructor established my own School in Cambridge on 4th February 1995. I received the Taekwon-do Excellence Award 1998 for Instructor Achievements I recieved many competition awards as a colour belt. I continued competing as a Black Belt until 2001. And in total achieved 9 Gold, 6 Silver and 13 Bronze Medals in Patterns, Sparring and Destruction. Competition achievments were under the Origional general Choi  ITf and against the following Associations. TAGB UKGT GTI UKTA ITF ENGLAND In addition to this afore mentioned I have competed against IMPACT, IMPERIAL, PUMA , BUTF and UKTF. In my final year of competing Gold Medals were achieved at the British, Scottish, English, Welsh and ITF England. Unfortunately I obtained a Bronze at the London Opens `Don't Ask` Retired. Since competing I have attended a further 6 International Courses taking the total to nine, 7 of which were under the instruction of  Founding Father Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi. The others were under the instruction of Grand Master Ree, Master Tran and our President Grand Master Choi. Master Bos certified me to the level of Class A Umpire in 2002 under the AETF. I re-qualified as a Class A Umpire under Master Galarraga VIII Degree, Feb 2006. Initially I attained my 1st and 2nd Degree under Buinder Sahota Vth Degree. IIIrd Degree under Grand Master Ree IX IVth Degree under Master Sheena Sutherland VII Vth Degree under Master Nichols VIII and Master Oldham VIII and Master Hogan VII During my TKD career I have always prided myself on training on a regular basis to maintain a high standard for my students to follow. The World Championships in Poland gave me an opportunity representing Grenade as National Coach. I have had students win medals in all disciplines spanning from the Europeans to the regionals, teams and clubs. Prior to becoming an Association I was Secretary to ITF England and Welsh congress representative. Under guidance from the International Taekwondo Federation and the UKITF, all my efforts are for benefiting my students and Instructors. The amount of people wishing to participate in competitions (Worldwide) has declined over the last decade. The original teachings look upon the "Sport" aspect of TKD as an infringement to the ethical teachings. We aim to deliver a balance that encompasses both elements with a true ideological stance. Hence the introduction of Model Sparring. Yours in TKD, Yogi Chand BA (Hons) V Degree International Instructor & Examiner International Class A Umpire Institute Chairman Taekwon.
