Two Rivers Martial Arts
My TKD Paper
What Tae Kwon Do means to me is that I can fulfill and
overcome. It means that I am strong, but that I can also control myself. Tae
Kwon Do also shows me that I can do anything that I set my mind to, even if it
seems impossible at first. Tae Kwon Do is something really special that I have
gotten to experience that most kids could ever even dream of doing. That is
what Tae Kwon Do means to me.
I joined Tae Kwon Do because I was always getting picked on
in school. I picked Tae Kwon Do because it teaches me both self-defense and how
to attack. Another reason I joined was because I needed something fun to keep
me occupied and in shape. I also just wanted to have something to do with my
family.
Tae Kwon Do has helped me grow and mature by teaching me to
respect adults and my peers. It has helped teach me how to preserver even if it
seems too hard to achieve. Tae Kwon Do has helped me mature by teaching me
self-control whether it is in sparring or if it is to help me suppress my
anger. Tae Kwon Do has made me stronger both physically and mentally.
Tae Kwon Do is something that is really important to me in my
life because it helps me stand out and be more unique. It also has helped make
new friends in both Tae Kwon Do and in school. It has also given my family a
chance to bond and hang out together. I have learned a lot about martial arts
that I did not know before, like how technique is a lot more important than
power. I have also learned how to preserver even through pain and exhaustion.
I am thankful for my mom, dad, and grandma because they were
always there to usher me to and from Tae Kwon Do, even if they had something
else going on. My whole family and all of my friends have been here to support
and push me through my experience. I would also like to thank my instructors
for mentoring me and helping push me through my journey.
