Born Fighting- GrandMaster Adil

GrandMaster Adil, the owner of Time For Sport Al Wakra, grew up in a Taekwondo environment where he was constantly involved in his father's Taekwondo gyms.

With the Youssefi family being the Taekwondo pioneers in Morocco, GrandMaster Adil was not unfamiliar with the combative environment. Stepping in to teach his father's classes for short periods of time would help him learn a lot about the effective methods of delivering lessons to students and successfully running a gym.

GrandMaster Adil began competing at 6 years old in the 16 kg category. He seldom lost a fight, competing in his first competition at 24kgs and coming first. He then went on to nationals and kept accumulating his victories, despite his young age. He went in the direction of a taekwondo coach and has now reached the 6th Dan Black Belt. In 2004 he was the International Pomsi referee and went on to study a Masters in Teaching Taekwondo in Korea. From this qualification he trained the young Morocco national team team to victory. From this teaching experience he was led to Falcon Academy Qatar where he taught up to 500 students collectively. This extensive teaching experience encouraged him to now have his own gym in Al Wakra, Qatar.

GrandMaster Adils advice to anyone who wishes to be a champion in Taekwondo is, ‘train hard and listen to your coaches nutrition and training advice. By listening to your coach you will see results and be much more inclined to winning’.

GrandMaster Adils advice to anyone who wishes to teach is, ‘Learn the discipline very well and achieve at least the 1st Dan Black Belt. You must also gain teaching experience by assisting a qualified teacher and understanding how a teacher operates’.As said by
