Master Lorne Davidson

In 1996 at the age of 48, Lorne Davidson declared bankruptcy and was forced to take a hard look at his life as a touring musician. With debts racking up and no answers in sight, he felt he had hit rock bottom. After a suggestion from his wife to try taekwondo to help him relax and release some stress, he agreed to a few lessons and never looked back.

Mastership: From Bankruptcy to a New Life is an autobiography of a twenty-year journey to achieving the title of Master Instructor in Songahm Taekwondo, at the age of sixty-nine. After successfully testing for his sixth-degree black belt, achieving a goal he set for himself in 1997, Lorne Davidson reflects on the changes taekwondo has brought to his life. From Bankruptcy to a New Life is a story of dedication, hard work, and hope. It’s a reminder that there truly are second chances in life, no matter what our age or situation.
