## Resource

Born in New York, raised in California, now based out of Georgetown, Texas, Master Cy Zamani has passed his fair share of ups and downs in life. The one constant that has always pulled him through the hardest of moments is Taekwondo. From the tragic loss of his father, and later his daughter, to a cancer diagnosis, the positivity that Taekwondo brought out in his life pulled him through. Three decades of Taekwondo competition helped Cy Zamani battle his toughest tests, inside and outside the ring. Now he pays it forward to the future generations of athletes in Taekwondo. His story is one of perseverance and loyalty to his craft.  For everything, A Black Belt Way of Life click the links below YouTube -  http://www.youtube.com/@blackbeltwayoflife Spotify -  https://open.spotify.com/show/276fCOHsnHb8YcakObQqWP?si=d9af64eb3587433d Apple Podcasts -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-black-belt-way-of-life/id1769633501 Amazon Music -  https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9d314fb1-51bb-4232-b3ab-60247520f343/a-black-belt-way-of-life BBWOL Show Producer - Press Record Studios -  https://pressrecordstudios.com Show Sponsor -  https://www.zillow.com/profile/josephferoneny Official Apparel Company -  https://bestma.us New York Black Belt Center -  https://nybbc.org
