Temporary Black Belt
June 6, 2015
Why I Started TaeKwonDo
I started Taekwondo because I thought it was all about getting a black belt. But when I started it was a lot more fun because I got to know a lot of the other students and made friends with them. Then I got to a green belt and started leading class. I told my parents at home that night, and it made them so happy. And I was happy, too, because I knew that I could keep going. So I just want to say thank-you to my mom and dad for letting me start Taekwondo a month earlier than we planned.My grandparents are also proud of me keeping up the good work. And now I get to work here at the gym sometimes, and I really like that a lot, too.
One Friday night, Master Jung made me practice on my knuckles until they were bleeding to make them tough. Then at another class he saw they weren’t bleeding, and he said that it must be because I had been eating too much ice cream.
I want to say thanks to my family for working with me. I want to say thank-you to my Master teachers for helping me to come to this point: Master Jung, Blane Phillips, Judy Bruner, Mike Little, Nate Hager, Master Ikeda, Master Siva, Ron Bruner, Brian Huff, and really, everyone at Jung’s Taekwondo.
Thank-you.
