World and Asian Poomsae champion Jean Pierre, or JP, Sabido believes that none of his championships can come close to his current life as husband to fellow TKD instructor Pauline, and as hands-on dad to hyperactive toddler Chap and baby sunshine Beau. As Covid 19 figures continue to surge in Bacolod City, JP and Pauline  teach, train and send young members of the Negros Taekwondo Union-Tigers to national online competitions, where they have been bagging free-style kicking and poomsae medals since last year.

Complaints? A little, but JP and Pauline won’t have it any other way. All dreams may be on hold, but for these two martial artists, this is exactly the life they’ve been training for.
