Achieving A Black Belt In Taekwondo

Throughout high school and undergraduate studies, I have tried to achieve academic excellence, improve my athletic abilities and become a better employee at a law firm. Although several experiences have shaped me as an individual, I believe that wrestling set the foundation for most of my improvements and accomplishments. I first started practicing wrestling when I was six years old and competing when I was nine. Although I was training four times a week, I failed to win anything for several years. I became less confident in my abilities, but I did not give up on the sport. I wanted to prove to myself that I can compete for medals with other athletes. Poor performances motivated me to work harder in practices, spectate older wrestlers and exercise

Through my life I’ve had many special accomplishments, but the one that meant the most to me was the time when I got my second degree black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do. I currently am a second degree black belt with 8 years of consistent training. My journey through this experience was not at all easy. In fact, I had to go through much dedication, time, and sacrifice. My training involved me going to practice 4 days a week, not including tournaments, weekend practices, and times when I went to practice when I wasn’t required to. All this training prepared me for tests that I had to earn in order to get my next belt; many people have failed, but I’ve never failed a single test. In my preparation for becoming a second degree, I’ve also had to assist

Germination is the stage of plant growth through which a seed becomes a seedling plant. First, the seed begins to absorb water and the radicle root emerges from the seed coat and into the water. Then, the primary roots grow, the cotyledons move above ground, the stem begins to grow, and leaves develop. The process is complete when the first leaves open and the cotyledons fall off (The Learning Garden 2001).

My black belt will help me fulfill this goal as it will give me a reason to stick to my goal. In karate class, the instructors over there didn’t wanted perfection, they wanted us to try our best. It will remind me not to give up. The black belt represents a level of appreciation, humanity, trust, life, love, courage, strength, knowledge, self-discipline, coordination, friendship, and willingness to do what is right. These character traits will help me to understand my patient and guide them with the right advice.

The tree planters’ work hard because they are paid a certain amount of money on each piece of tree planted. The experienced tree planter plants up to 1300 seedlings because they do not take a lunch break and keep on working in order to make good money.

Stage eight occurs on days eighteen through twenty. During this time, seed pods will develop. The final stage is stage nine, which occurs on days twenty-one to forty. This will be when the Fast Plant begins to wilt and die, and its seed pods will begin to become dry and eventually and await planting. Then the entire life cycle will begin all over again.

During my black belt test, I and twenty other candidates were testing for black belt. All of us passed the test and became black belts. The next day, I went to my first black belt class, but only saw half of the candidates who tested with me. Soon, after a month, there were only four of the candidates left. All of these people left, telling me that they have become a black belt and there is nothing else to learn. Others told me that black belt was too challenging. After two years of black belt training, I was testing for my second degree in black belt. However, I was alone. Then, I passed my second-degree test, but I was left with a decision, to leave or stay.

“The first bricks laid are more important than the last.” This anonymous quote has been a miniature motivation patch on my Brazilian jiu-jitsu gi for the past two years. Toxic thoughts in my body and mind has been minimized and my career has been on tracked ever since I started jiu-jitsu. The bonds I have with my friends and family is more powerful than ever than the time I anxiously made the choice to step on the mat.

To some an acorn is just an acorn, nothing more than a nut. The acorn with its tough leathery outside and rich amber color signifies nothing more than the commencement of autumn. To others it represents a great deal of potential. This tiny seed has the ability to endure many adverse effects including long periods of cold temperatures, drought, and human interference. The fragile acorn contains all the necessary elements to become the giant, majestic oak that has come to signify strength. When the conditions are favorable, the little nut will thrive and become an impressive adult tree providing oxygen and shade as nature intended. The most important factor to the budding tree is the environment. Like all other living things, the acorn

My instructor told me it would take at least four years to earn my black belt. I thought I could get it much quicker- I was wrong- EXTREMELY wrong. It took me four and a half years and some just to get my first degree black belt! Sparring was the most challenging; all aspects of my martial arts skills would be put to the test. In addition, wearing protective gear slowed me down, and tired me out more!
