My name is Petros Karavasilis and I have been studying the art of Taekwondo for over 28 years. I’m currently a 4th Dan black belt registered with World Taekwondo. I’ve been a member of the Greek national team from 2003 to 2010, a member of the National Taekwondo military team in 2008 and a member of the Australian national team in 2019.
Taekwondo is an Olympic sport originating from Korea. It is a martial art that focuses on respect, discipline and self-control. It is characterized by its emphasis on speed and agility and more specifically on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques.
