9-year-old Aryan Hegde is the only one representing Utah at the Taekwondo World Championship in his division.
AMERICAN FORK, Utah — A 9-year-old in Utah is the only one representing the state at the Taekwondo World Championship in his division. An Indian boy using his passion for the sport to win competitions all over.
“I got a national champion this year,” Aryan said. “I am really happy about that. I got first place in extreme form, in that division.” “Etreme is an opportunity for self-expression,” explained Aryan’s coach, Benjamin Booth, the chief instructor at Booth ATA Martial Arts in American Fork. “So this way, as they’re doing creative and extreme events, they get to write their own material. We’ll help out with that, but this gives them a chance to go out and show the world who they are.”
Aryan's parents, Megha and Apoorva, are chess players from India and wanted him to follow suit. But they said he couldn’t sit still, and when he was 3 or 4 years old, it became apparent that he needed to channel that energy some other way. So, they enrolled him in Taekwondo lessons and haven’t looked back.
