“There are many things I love about taekwondo. I can break harder boards, kick targets, and spar. The most important thing is that I always have fun,” wrote Shayan S., black belt student, 12.
“When I first stepped onto the mat two years ago, I had no martial arts background. I joined taekwondo with my two youngest children, thinking it would be a fun family activity. What I didn’t expect was how quickly I’d come to love it. Taekwondo has given me an unexpected gift: clarity and peace. No matter what’s happening, being on the mat forces me to be present, and by the end of each class, I feel more centered.” wrote Lea G., black belt student, 51.
“My favorite memory from taekwondo was when I received my yellow belt. It is nearly impossible to describe the way it feels to receive your first full color belt. Everyone was excited for me! Through the long practices, I always held onto this memory when things got tough,” wrote Andrew W., black belt student, 10.
“Taekwondo has helped me be confident when speaking to others and has also taught me to stand up for myself,” wrote Daniel M., black belt student, 9.
“When I first started taekwondo, I was having a tough time at school because I was getting bullied. It made me feel really bad, and I didn’t know how to stand up for myself. But since I started learning taekwondo, I’ve been getting more confident — though I know I still have more to learn,” wrote Beau G., black belt student, 12.
