Persuasive Speech On Karate

As I came down the hallway towards the Athletic Training Room my senses were overwhelmed with the smell of stinky feet, antiseptic, and for some reason someone 's lunch. As I stepped over the threshold into the Training Room my ears immediately picked up twenty different conversations all going at once, the sound of electrotherapy machines, and athletic trainers taping. My senses were all being overthrown as I sat and observed my Athletic Training Room instead of working. Watching this mayhem unfold, basking in the beauty of mass chaos that in some sense was uniform. Athletic training rooms often put a sick feeling in athletes’ stomachs. They fear that to come in to let an Athletic Trainer know about an injury automatically means they will

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

So you’ve finally done it. After months and months of promising yourself you would get fit and healthy, you’ve finally joined a gym. Good for you! Now, the last thing I want to do is dampen the joy you’re probably experiencing right at this moment, but I do feel like I should warn you that things only get harder from here. If you’re going to get the results you’re after, you’re going to have to put in a lot of work at the gym, performing just the right exercises just the right amount of times. If you have no prior health and fitness experience, you can expect to make a couple of mistakes right off the bat. That’s just fine, mistakes are inevitable. That being said, I do want to use my extensive experience in this area to help

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

The first time I ever fought was with Shayla and she is the only one who has ever made me cry in karate. For my first fighting class, my dad had bought me a helmet shield, afraid that I would get hurt. Ironically, the helmet shield hurt me more than it did protect me. When I fought with Shayla, she had punched me in the head and my helmet shield became loose hitting me in the chest every time she punched me. It hurt so much. I cried and got bruises all over my chest. This made me afraid of fighting. A few years later when I was a blue belt, my dad had accidentally signed me up for fighting at the tournament. Since he had already paid for it, he made me go fight. This was my first tournament, my first time fighting in since Shayla fought me, and I was terrified. As I sat down around the ring waiting for my turn, I saw one girl was beating everyone in the division. She had the fanciest kicks and the fastest movements. She even made three girls cry and I was knew I didn't want fight her, but ultimately I was chosen to be her last competitor. I was actually surprised at how well I did, but without Sensei Jose's help, I wouldn't have been able to beat her. For the first few minutes, I was kicked in the face a couple of times but then someway, somehow I scored a point by side kicking her, nothing fancy. I did that a couple of times, and then all of a sudden I was in the lead. I was winning.

Cheerleading is a very competitive sport and takes a lot of effort. There are several types of cheerleading that a person can participate in. Unlike most sports, cheerleading is not just limited to male or females. Both can participate separately or together. In addition, cheerleading can be a recreational sport for some, provide an education, or even be done as a full-time job. Cheerleading is also offered at all age levels. Children as young as 2 can participate in competitive cheer. This paper will not only persuade you that cheerleading is the best sport, but also persuade you that the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are the best cheerleading team in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (also known as the DCC) is the best cheerleading team in the NFL because more than 500 women come to tryout each year, their ages range from 18-40 years and you have to try out each year to maintain your spot on the team.

Attention Getter: Are you tired of being of gaining weight or just feeling sluggish all the time? Do you have health issues? Well exercising can give you good health and psychological advantages.

I sat there quiet, with my head ducked down. Though the gaps of hair, I could my classmates looking over at our table. They’re faces were so shocked as if they had seen the end of the world.

I began wrestling since my freshman year of high school, as I have always wanted to wrestle. I did not necessarily at the sport, but I enjoyed it. I earned medals and won tournaments, and for a time I even saw myself wrestling in college. I thought that I had my future planned until I dislocated my knee. I first viewed the incident as a freak accident, but it soon happened frequently. It reached to the point where I required invasive surgery. Mulling over my surgery and repeated injuries, I concluded that wrestling became too dangerous. But I committed myself to wrestling; I had no idea what else to do. Desperate to find an activity to fill the void that athletics left behind, I decided to try something outside of my comfort zone. As a result,

Muhammad Ali, who was born as Cassius Marcellus Clay, on January 17, 1942, is a world renowned boxer. He is also known in the Muslim community because of his reversion (conversion) to Islam. He grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, during the 1940's which was a very hard state to live for two major reasons. #1 it was still segregated, and there was still extreme racial prejudice.

The summer, a time of warm weather, long weekends, friends and holidays. It is also the time where many of us put down the junk food, get off the couch and come out of winter hibernation to enjoy the outdoors. It’s often not long after playing your first game of beach volleyball or running to catch the bus when you realise that your heart is racing, sweat is pouring down your face and you are breathing heavily. As you look up and watch everyone still running around you or as your stepping onto the bus only one thought is running through your mind “WOW I am out of shape!”. Now I am not here today to try and convince you to get into better shape. Starting a fitness routine is a commitment that an individual needs to decide on for

With all the choices and methods of exercise these days, many of us are confused about what is best and what will work for them. Hopefully I can clear up some of this confusion about fitness, and talk about what methods I feel are most effective.

Day one of Taekwondo, the Korean art of self-defense, I felt like a snail with prospective ninja skills ready to come out of my shell. After every punch or kick, a booming “Kiiihaaapp” resonated from every kid. Sensei Mohin

It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."

Judo has been a large part of my life since I was six years old. Twenty-one years have passed since I started judo, and the role that it has played in my life has transformed tremendously over the years. To me, judo has always been a sport. I have practiced countless of hours on perfecting the technique of my throws, sweeps, pins, chokes, and armbars, and my work has paid off in competition. I have competed in multiple tournaments on the national and international scope, and I have won awards in both shiai (sparring) and kata (form). However, judo to me changed into so much more after my experience at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games during the summer after my high school junior year.
