EP24 | Jaffa - 5x British Taekwondo Champion Tells his Story (Part 1)

We are delighted to share with you Jaffa's (Jonny's uncle) story.

Jaffa was raised in Andover, Hampshire by foster parents and moved around different children homes in the South East of England from the age of 8 up to 16.

He's had an unbelievable experience for a child to go through and been able to channel the negativity into becoming a 3x British Taekwondo Champion from 1987. Jaffa went on to train Taekwondo to disadvantaged children in Southampton for the next ten years.

This episode a very tough listen as it contains stories relating to childhood trauma. We hope it gives people some insight on how tough some people have really had it in life.
