Agustina Armoa, IV Dan, will represent Argentina in patterns, sparring and power breaking in the World Cup that begins next week. She is also the Captain of the adult women’s team of her country.
Like many other competitors, he had to adapt to the isolation problems caused by the pandemic, “the preparation for this World Championship was intense since we had the pandemic involved. At that time, I still continued training as best I could since the World Cup was in my priority for when activities resume.”
The Captain of Argentina tells in detail the beautiful story of her entry into Taekwondo, her love for her father led her to fall in love with this sport. “I entered Taekwon-do through my father, my instructor. Like all daughters, I was very attached to my father and accompanied him to his classes, training sessions, and I copied everything they did in a little corner alone. Until from going so much, a One day they invited me to train and from there I began to try at the age of 6. But at that time I did it more than anything to go with my dad everywhere, I trained everywhere he went, with all the ages of children- juveniles-adults. Going with my father meant arriving early and coming back at night, so I did all the shifts… and that’s how I started.”
The World Cup in the Netherlands will be the sixth in Agustina Armoa’s career, who hopes to “enjoy it like the first, show myself that I can do it and that all the effort was worth it… always looking for the same goal to be at the top…”
