The Taekwondo Guru" Master Mark Warburton

from A Black Belt Way of Life

Master Mark Warburton is the owner of Sarnia Olympic Taekwondo located in Ontario, Canada. A shy introverted kid who never really found his footing in traditional sports like soccer, he preferred video games and pro wrestling. Enamored by wrestlers who used martial arts like The Great Muta, he decided to try martial arts in his local Karate school. But when he saw 1992 Olympic Taekwondo gold medalist Herb Perez as "Olympus" on the television show "WMAC Masters", he knew this was the style of choice for him. Grandmaster Perez's demonstrations of fierce kicks and powerful movements paved the way for him to not only follow his passion, but completely immerse himself into the sport becoming a true fan of it. Representing Canada and Great Britain through his career on the mats, Master Mark Warburton demonstrates a tale of perseverance, competing at the Canadian National Championships for 20 years before making his first podium. Today, he inspires his students with his "never say die" attitude, and encyclopedic knowledge of the sport. Plus, we dive into the greatest fantasy tournament of all time, as Master Warburton chooses who would come out on a top among the best men and women TKD fighters in recent times.YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@blackbeltwayoflifeSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/276fCOHsnHb8YcakObQqWP?si=6cf665afac1043ebAmazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9d314fb1-51bb-4232-b3ab-60247520f343/a-black-belt-way-of-lifeApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-black-belt-way-of-life/id1769633501Sponsor - Mr. Joseph Ferone - Weichert Realtyhttps://www.zillow.com/profile/josephferonenySarnia Olympic Taekwondo - https://www.facebook.com/sarniatkd/Press Record Studios - https://pressrecordstudios.com/Follow the Black Belt Way of Life podcast on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565583651797Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackbeltwayoflife/Learn more about the New York Black Belt Center: https://nybbc.org/Subscribe to the New York Black Belt Center YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRk9IlttzWlGyA6fHjHOmRA
