Why I want to be a Black Belt: by Karlea Mitchell

           

           

            There are multiple reasons why I want to become a black belt.One reason is because as I become a black belt, things will become more challenging.I also want to be able to test for chevrons. Another reason why I want to become a black belt is because when you are a black belt, you get to learn a whole new variety of things.The last reason that I want to become a black belt is because when I get my 1st degree black belt, I can hopefully start training to become an instructor.

When I become a black belt things will become increasingly more difficult and I will face lots of new challenges. I am looking forward to these new challenges because the harder the challenge, the more accomplished I feel when I overcome it. Also, new challenges can be very exciting. New challenges present new learning opportunities. Overcoming these challenges is a way of measuring my success..

When I become a black belt, I can also start testing for chevrons. I will get to learn tons of wrist releases. Hopefully I get to learn some more ground fighting as well. They will also make me better at the regular things we do in class because sometimes we do wrist releases in class.

When I become a black belt, I will get to learn a whole new variety of things that I have not ever seen or had the opportunity to do before.These things will also be a lot more advanced which makes learning them even more fun. The new things I learn as a black belt will also be more useful to me in things like tournaments. I will also get to eventually pass my newly found vast amount of knowledge down to others who are lower than me.

When I become a black belt I can hopefully start training to be an instructor. This means I can enroll in the tiger team class and learn the forms necessary for my first collar.Then once I have my first collar, I can start teaching the younger belts to be the best they can be at their belt rank.This will make them better in the future because if the younger belts can comprehend and do everything they need to be able to do at their belt rank then they can move on early and become more knowledgeable and become advanced at their belt rank. When they become advanced this will make it easier for them as they move up the belt ranks because they might already know how to do some advanced things that aren’t complicated for them because they learned those things early on. When I get my next collar I will get to teach a whole new set of skills to a whole new group of people..

In conclusion,I want to become a black belt because things will become more challenging, I will be able to test for chevrons, I will get to learn a whole new variety of things, and I will hopefully get to become an instructor. 3 years ago I came to Stricklands Taekwondo to do one thing and that was to become a black belt. Now I am finally a recommended black belt and it is time for me to get my First Degree Decided and do all the other things that came after that.
