"I started Taekwondo when I was 10 and remember my teacher asking me to recite the ‘Tenets of Taekwondo’ at the end of every lesson: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable sprit. These principles have been instrumental in shaping my personal values and mindset ever since. In light of this, I see the Apax value to ‘learn, adapt and grow’ as not simply being about achieving the highest belt or perfecting your high flying kick – but more about learning to personify these tenets and in doing so, developing a stronger sense of self."
