Martial Arts Is A Means Of Exercise, Self Preservation, And Self

While I enjoy participating in various hobbies, one of the hobbies I’ve found the most meaningful is an activity I’ve taken up more recently, Jiu-Jitsu. I’d started Jiu-Jitsu around the August of 2016. My father had encouraged me to try out my first lesson as it would help me learn self-defense and respect. There was a place advertising for a free first class, Tracy's Karate. I participated in my first lesson in the first week of August. The senseis (teachers) and other students there were all so helpful, supportive and respectful. I’d known almost instantly I wanted to sign up. Several months into attending classes weekly, my practice paid off and I was promoted a belt in Jiu-Jitsu. Currently, I am still attending classes and hope to do so

“As a dedicated student of the martial arts I live by the code of the black belt: modesty, courtesy, integrity, self-control and perseverance, SIR!” For eight years I had to follow this creed thoroughly and whole-heartedly. When karate was first mentioned in my household, I was narrow-minded and pessimistic. The use of self-defense and fighting seemed irrelevant to my naive and youthful life. However even after what seemed to be a lifetime of complaints and arguments, my pressing parents held their ground and I was forced to start my long and rewarding journey of becoming a black belt.

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.

Many years later, my parents finally agreed to send me to a Taekwondo class. I could eventually wear my Taekwondo suits, and tie the belt that is the symbol of the levels; I could sweat and try my best to challenge my limits both physically and mentally.

Half a dozen guys were in the BJJ room grappling, the view was astonishing as I stood outside the foggy glass observing. I knew this was something I wanted to do. My fears, insecurities, sadness, and anger Jiu Jitsu would reach inside and rip them out. Weiss Sakhizada was the coach he looked young and invigorating , he treated me with such kindness and was so cheery to know that I was

The values of Taekwondo philosophy instills positive characteristics in an individual. Taekwondo is not a combative martial art, it mainly focuses on self-defense and control. This calm martial art improves my morale and perseverance. It has assisted me in gaining ample confidence in presenting my research at science fairs to esteemed judges and hundreds of people across Canada, both face-to-face and on live TV. Over the last ten years, as a practitioner of this art, Taekwondo has introduced me to many amazing people, who have helped me develop essential socialization skills. With short periods of respite, acute cardio and sparring, Taekwondo has helped to become a stronger person from the inside and physically.

I used to do a martial art called So Bahk Do. I used to have fun, feeling proud and strong when I was doing it. It had gradually evolved into a task I participated in reluctantly rather than a hobby I looked forward to. As I walked up to the studio, which had been like a second home to me for seven years, I realized that I was frustrated and angry. Angry that I needed to give so much time and effort for something I had no desire to do. I could feel the constant weight of always going to So Bahk pushing down on my shoulders. I felt that it was finally time to lift that weight. I marched in through the front door, confident and resolute. Every component that my senses encountered- the voices, the starched white uniforms, the laughter, the familiarity -chipped away at my anger storm. When I saw my teacher, my emotions were suddenly hammered back into me. I was so familiar with her smile, her eagerness, and her air of peaceful confidence that I lost my train of thought.

Today, I am a black-belt in that specific art and have learned that perseverance and patience are the greatest virtues anyone can have. I have taken these lessons, and applied it to many other categories such as schooling, how I plan my life after high school, and how I plan my free time. Another life lesson that I have learned from my family is self-reliance. There have been many times where I would ask my parents for help on something to which they would respond, "figure it out." This taught me that I'm not always going to have help with the task at

The Father Allah stated, “When you’ll come together, you will see me.” This is how they were able to master their Supreme Mathematics and 120 lessons. So the same idea was conveyed with the Martial arts, the practice and the techniques that are, and can be learned training from Books//literature…etc by "Coming Together.” Through the drawings, (pictures) one can better himself one move at a time, just like the lessons are studied and it becomes possible to learn even from a book through time, dedication, sincere practice and

Growing up, I have worked on my abilities in preparation for the military. During stressful situations, I place two figures on any artery that is close to my skin to monitor and control my heartbeat. This technique has come in handy when in fearful situations. In my free time, I have well-reversed myself in deciphering body language. This is a helpful tool in telling whether an individual is being deceitful or in predicting their intentions. Along with these survival skills, I know a few martial art techniques. For two years, I was trained in Taekwondo in the Guangdong providence in China.

Every Tuesday and Friday at around 8:15 pm a ritual occurs in small town Montana. A tradition made popular in America in the 1940 and WWII era, but has been around for hundreds of years.It involves anywhere between 3 and 30 people, ages 9 and up, standing in a line shoulder to shoulder and staring straight ahead at what to an untrained eye seems to be nothing but, in fact is everything. These people , myself amongst them, have just finished a training session in Shotokan karate and are waiting to be excused from the class, but before they leave the man in front, the Sensei, shouts “Dojo Kodo!” Code of the Dojo. There are 5 principles to this code, These principles are my responsibility to myself, my companions, my state, and my country.

Several years ago, when I was five years-old, I watched the movie The Karate Kid (1984) starring Ralph Macchio as the bullied teen who comes out of his shell, having mastered a form of martial arts. At that tender age, I was impressed by the fact that such a mousy adolescent came out of his shell in such an impacting way. Mr. Miyagi (played by Pat Morita) was especially impressive with his quiet demeanor and extraordinary martial arts skills. The movie was a bit old-fashioned, but I loved it! Although I was never bullied, I knew that I wanted to be just like Daniel Larusso, the character that Ralph Macchio played: strong and disciplined. So when the chance came along to join a martial arts class came along, I grabbed it. I started taking classes
