Tae Kwon Do Personal Injury

As I stepped on the bright red and black mats, I could hear my heart beating through my chest. I sat there stretching my arms while attempting to memorize my techniques. The thought of forgetting a technique or part of my form paralyzed me with fear. Uncertainty ran through my head. Questions like, “what if I freeze and don’t know what to do?” and, “what if I can’t defend myself from the black belts?”. I began to regret spending time outside instead of practicing more. I knew I had to perform the techniques as best as I could. A few minutes passed, all five of the black belts

At the age of four I followed in my father's footsteps and became the karate kid he always aspired for me to be, the only problem was… I was a girl… I was young… and I was in a room full of boys. My sparring equipment may have seemed enormous in comparison to my 5’2 size, but I still walked through the doors of the studio ready to push myself harder than I had the week before. My karate instructor, Master Alegria, always told us “we learn to fight so we don’t have to fight.” A bloody nose hurt at the moment, but it taught me lessons I can utilize for the remainder of my life. I learned about self defense, but most

When reflecting on my life’s journey thus far, I am able to recall numerous instances which have provided me with opportunities to make decisions that have played a pivotal role in fostering a strong set of personal values in which I strive to abide by today. While many of these values were born out of struggle and poor life choices, it is easy for me to say that there are few regrets. These decisions, some good and some bad, have allowed me to evolve into the man I am today. I am truly grateful to have experienced a life that has afforded me the opportunities to cultivate many strong beliefs and ideologies in my personal, academic, and social life. Through deeper reflection, I have come to realize that these experiences combined with my

After five excruciating hours of intense training and drilling of each choreographed movement, I was debilitated and slept the entire way home. I crawled into bed, staying awake only long enough to set my alarm for practice the next morning. My mind was utterly immersed in dance; I ran the dances through me head constantly, imagining each muscle contraction that would be required to execute move flawlessly. As captain of the dance team, I was required to know every movement, every count, every formation by heart as soon as it was taught to the team, even if I was not part of that specific number. Jumping out of the bed, ready for five more grueling hours of practice, I suddenly collapsed on the floor, screaming from the pain shooting up my right leg. A few minutes passed and I was able to get up and hobble around. I then made the calamitous mistake of participating in another grueling five hours of dance practice, with only a light brace to support my agonizingly painful ankle. Fast forward through two weeks of a swollen ankle, crying in pain with any movement of my ankle, doctor prescribed ice and rest and x-rays, to the horrid moment when my doctor told me I had torn a ligament in my foot: an injury which has a history of being near impossible to fully heal from. I was told to be prepared that I may never run or dance again; I may even be extremely limited when walking. The weeks turned into months of physical therapy, with little to no improvement. Every doctor’s visit consisted of the same warning: probable surgery with little hope of extraneous activity after recovery. But I defied the odds: I completely avoided surgery, got my walking-boot off after twelve long weeks, and went for a mile walk nearly pain free within a year of my injury. But probably the most important milestone in my recovery occurred one year after my injury: I got my driver’s license. Although I still live with lingering pain in my ankle, I understand

I will never forget the time I walked off the mat injured. The match started and everything was going good. Just I was slammed to the mat by my opponent. I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and that is when I realized that I definitely hurt something. As I got off the mat the referee, stopped me and made me come

After practice, I took a shower and tried to go to sleep. I barely slept all night and my mom made an appointment to get my knee checked out the next day. After breakfast, I stumbled to the car and we drove to the doctor’s clinic. After waiting for what felt like 2 hours, we finally saw the doctor. He had me go through many exercises to see how my leg was and then we walked over to the X-Ray room so they could look at my leg internally. I layed down on the hard bed and the nurse handed me a heavy leg blanket to cover my knee. After a couple of bright flashes i was done and the doctor stated that i would need to have my leg checked out by another doctor at the Rush Copley hospital in Yorkville. Finally after two long days of pain and no sleep, we could see the doctor. When we meet him, he showed us my X-Rays and stated that I was to where a knee brace and take pills to get the internally swelling down. There was nothing else anyone could do because it was a sprain. We drove to target to pick up the pills and find a knee brace. After trying on the knee brace i realized that it hugged my leg so tight it was hard to move it. Also the material was extremely

There was a time in my life where something happened to me and fear prevented me from saying anything about it, or speaking in general. She was very quiet, and rarely spoke because part of her was too afraid to. Not only would I tell her to speak up, but to not be scared to do so. Instead of expecting people to know how you were feeling, or what happened to you, nothing was said; you were silent. If you would have spoke up, your life would have been so much easier, but you were stubborn. The experience that made me come up with what I would say to her was a negative experience. Not only did it affect me, but it also affected many other people. The reason why this experience was so negative was partially my fault because of something I should have said, but did not have enough courage to say it. Just because she kept her mouth shut, she hurt other people. She did not mean

The ancient principles of Tae Kwon Do will help instill the qualities you want your children to possess.

The physical injuries endured by athletes such as boxers, football players, hockey players, and rugby players caused the Americans, who are in charge of safety and regulations of these sports, to become stringent with the way these athletes participate in these physical contact sports to enforce the importance of wearing the required protective equipment. Boxers were the first to be seen with the disease of CTE which is chronic traumatic encephalopathy along with other physical injuries such as broken bones, internal bleeding, minor injuries including busted lips and swollen eyes. The act that was first passed because of the safety issues was in 1983 by the AMA American Medical Association who observed and believed that there was many potential

When a person suffers an injury due to the negligent actions or inactions of another person(s) or entity, the victim has to not only deal with the physical and emotional trauma, but they also have to consider such costs as medical care expenses, loss of income, loss of future income, and ongoing medical care costs such as physical therapy. When in such a situation, victims will often consult with a personal injury lawyer to determine if they have a personal injury claim. To determine if you have a case of negligence, there are a number of documents that will be required as well as important preparations. In addition, these documents will also be required for the actual personal injury lawsuit.

In grade school I often had trouble facing even the most simple of fears. I was an extremely shy child who tended to keep to myself, so when it came to being called on in class or getting into groups for projects this invisible shield of fear would come up that would stop me in my surroundings. I remember the days when I would dread going to school the next day when an important presentation was to be given or spoken participation was required to get full credit on an assignment. I would put myself in the darkest mindset in order to get through the day but then all the sudden one-day in 4th grade during the poetry unit things began to change. While going around the room and reading quotes in class, words finally did jump off the page as I was presented with the aforementioned Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, “Always do what you are afraid to do.” These words ignited a spark in myself that I had never felt before. They gave me the hope that if I face these fears that I was so afraid of in the past a lot of change could come my way. This wasn’t going to be an easy task to concur but at that moment in time it was time to come head on with a new realm of possibilities that could greatly benefit my
