Tea_Kwon-Do

Tea Kwon-Do For a brief moment, I realize where I am. Standing in front of me is a third degree black belt representing Kazakhstan, and I, a first-degree black belt with no prior sparring experience, represent Canada. I think back to the previous ten years that I dedicated to Tae Kwon-do, and I know think is something of the past. I don’t think, I do. The match begins and I become totally relaxed. I float like a butterfly around my opponent, I fake him with a punch to make him blink, and the instant his eyes are closed, I sting like a bee. The match ends a minute and a half later with me being touched only when I let him touch me, an expert strategy. As the head referee raises my arm in victory, I am not proud, but instead I’m humble and grateful. I shake hands with my opponent, and we hug. The first of my many matches is over. Since it’s creation by General Choi Hong Hi in 1955 for use in the Korean military, for good reason, Tae Kwon-do, the way of the hand and foot, has been seen as tae, kwon-do, black, students, belt, because, new, years, way, people, martial, great, violent, self-defence, contact, it’s, healthy, canadian, aspect, training, three, sport, should, seen, possible, parents, out, one, market, joining, canada, better, belts, aspects, advertise
