Why I want to be a Black
Belt
I want to be a black belt so I
can get a good job. Participating in taekwondo will help me get a good
job because it shows I can stick to a
program and finish it. Taekwondo will help me get into a good college so I will have a
good education and give me a wider
selection of choices of my job. Also, I can defend myself and others if they are
getting hurt so I won't come home with a black eye or a broken
collarbone. Taekwondo also helps me stay in
good shape because
Work out 2 times a week. I can use what I have learned to teach my
brother the black belt form when he becomes a
black belt.
By learning the forms, he can defend
himself so he won't get hurt. Taekwondo
also I can use what I
learned lets me get my energy out so I won't
be hyper when I get home and my parents
won't yell at me. My dad says you never forget the moves so it could help me a lot in the future plus I can teach my son how to defend himself and others. I could
also teach Nick because he wants to learn the forms and more so he
could protect
Himself and others. As well tell my family
and relatives about it I can use my
form to entertain them and show them
the moves I learned. My family likes to hear about my sparring and
tournaments. I don't want to fight
with my friend but if he joins
then I could spar against him and see who wins
then I could finally stop arguing
with him and move on past that. Jack and
I spar at home sometimes when we don’t
go to taekwondo class. I could eventually do the weapons class
when my schedule isn't so crowded with
soccer and track. If I decide to work at a
dangerous job, like a repo man,
my taekwondo skills will get me out of tough times. I might consider being a
security guard; if the robbers are trying to steal a sixty inch TV I could
knock them out. Working hard at taekwondo helps me with my technique and makes
my kicks and punches more powerful to help me break through a board. I sort of
want to become an instructor so I can make a
living off of it. It seems fun
teaching kids to teach their form and
watch them test for free. Hopefully I can keep doing this for a long time.
I am excited to
Continue with my taekwondo experience and to learn new things along
the way especially good
Manners because you want us to say the tenants of taekwondo like courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. For all these reasons and even
more this is why I want to
be a black belt. Thank you Mr.
Strickland, Mr. Drew and all of the other instructors.
