Instructor Profile Jessica Bull 2010 – Melbourne

My eyes were opened to the greater world of Taekwon-Do and with this new club I began training with some of the best Taekwon-Do practitioners in Victoria. I was introduced to tournaments, which unleashed my competitive spirit.

 

Some of my proudest moments have been associated with Taekwon-Do; grading to 1st Dan in 1999, representing Australia at the First Asia Taekwon-Do Championships, Japan in 2000 in which I won a Bronze medal and being selected to represent Australia in the 12th World Taekwon-Do ITF Championships, Italy in 2001.

My love for the fitness arena, in general, began when I started instructing Taekwon-Do in 1999 and after the First Asia Taekwon-Do Championships my journey into the fitness industry started. I am a qualified Fitness Instructor, Group Exercise Instructor inc. water aerobics and group exercise for children and Personal Trainer inc. Older adults strength training. 

Being the competitive and demanding industry it is I found less and less time to practise my first love, Taekwon-Do. And before I knew it I’d met my husband and now have two lovely children.

Now fitter and stronger than I’ve ever been I have returned to Taekwon-Do, thrilled to be welcomed back into Il-Shim Melbourne, with Paul Harper, who I’ve trained with for many years. 

I am working towards my next grading, 2nd Dan, and look forward to Instructor training and opening my own club in South-East Victoria in 2011 and working with Master Daher and this great organisation ITF Australia.
