My favorite Sport TKD

Taekwondo is a sport that I love. It’s been part of my life since I was a little kid. Taekwondo has taken over my life and changed it completely. It’s not just a sport to me, it’s a hobby that I love. I enjoy this hobby because it relieves my stress out, I interact with others, and because I stay physically active.

I also love Taekwondo because I can also stay physically active. It’s not just a sport, it’s also a life style choice. Every time I have my free time I go to the gym and exercise. I also do some Taekwondo forms. Some people may not believe this, but Taekwondo forms help you to tone your muscles from the movements you do. I also do some rounds in the kicking bag and have myself a little fun. By doing all that, I stay active and healthy which I enjoy a lot about Taekwondo.

Taekwondo has taught me respect, patience, perseverance and control. Respect came from my taekwondo masters. The tradition of answering,Yes sir, yes ma’am” was daunting at first and took time to get used to. It taught me not just to respect my taekwondo masters and instructors, but anyone I meet in my life. Patience came from not only learning techniques, but teaching them as well. It taught me not to get frustrated with students I am helping just because they don’t understand the first few times, because I remembered I was the same way and my instructors didn’t give up on me.

Being a black belt means constantly developing myself physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle the many challenges and opportunities that life presents; and to pass along these tools to our students so that they can grow, mature, and best take advantage of the opportunities that arise in their lifetimes.A Black Belt is understanding ones body, mind, and self so that one can begin. My black belt is not so much a token of my accomplishments but a reminder of my potential, and the constant responsibility I have to live up to it.
