An insight to a place I was never aware of
Tae Kwon Do inspired me to quit smoking, increased my self control, and gave me an insight to a place of strength and spirit I was never aware of. The effort and concentration required to attain a Black Belt helped to create a calm that I have the will to succeed. Even a bad experience with my first school could not take away the joyful feeling of exhausted accomplishment that comes from completing the set of forms from first kup (white belt), to first dan (Black Belt) andeleven patterns, Chon-ji to Po-eun, which I can do on my lunch break, once each. I prefer to repeat them 3 times, (slow, medium, fast), bringing my muscles to the brink of collapse and my mind to a beautiful clarity of spirit through endurance. ASAH!!
