Master Downey putting back
into the community
"Master Scott Downey,
7th Degree Black Belt, from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, guest presenter at Youth Anti-Violence conference
in St. John's. Master Downey was requested to present on practical self-defense techniques to over 100 junior high
school students who were victims of bullying. School Guidance Counsellors and Educational Psychologists selected
the students. Students came from all the junior high schools throughout St. John's, Mount Pearl, Torbay, and Conception
Bay South. Master Downey's background as a Child and Adolescent Psychologist and Taekwon-Do Master was an excellent
combination as he could discuss the emotional impact of bullying, as well as teach the students practical self-defense
techniques. Master Downey also emphasized the tenets of Taekwon-Do (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control,
and Indomitable Spirit) and the Philosophy of Self-defense (talk if you will, walk away if you can, run if you
must, but if all else fails defend yourself)." www.tkd-itf.org/pub_web/ver_eng/ITFR051220082.html
