SAN Training Centre has a new coach, Yo-Ting, who is from Taiwan and has moved to the Sunshine Coast temporarily for a ‘sea change’.
Yo-Ting is from Taipei, which is one of the best cities in the world to learn Taekwondo according to San Training’s Cameron Taylor who said having her in Beerwah was a chance occurrence.
“She came to Australia to learn how to surf, so she was looking for taekwondo clubs near the beach to work at,” he said.
“So, she sent us a message asking if we had any jobs available and although we didn’t, we offered her a couple of hours a week to coach.
“Yo-Ting was super keen to come and hang out on the coast and enjoy the lifestyle here, and she’s a really experienced fighter.” Cameron told GC&M News Yo-Ting is a great asset to the club thanks to her expertise, and she will likely be on board at the centre for the next 12 months.
“It’s been excellent to have her here, she’s on a next level, she won bronze at the Manchester Grand Prix in 2018 and got silver at the Russian Open and silver at the Austrian Open in 2019,” he said.
She has been coaching students and showcasing different and new techniques, helping add to students’ arsenal.
