Reason for starting: My friend told me he started doing Taekwondo and I thought that it would be useful and fun to learn how to defend myself.
How long: About 11 years.
Current level: 1st Dan Black Belt.
What do you like about taekwondo: The thing I love most about taekwondo is that you learn something new almost every week, regardless of what belt you are. Whether it be a self-defence method or polishing kicks, you always have something to hone in on and do it to the best of your ability.
One of the aspects of Taekwondo that should appeal to everyone though, is the real world use of this (or any other) martial art. Unlike a lot of sports, a martial art provides a valuable skill that can aid you in life, while also keeping you fit. These two factors combined make something that you will never regret doing, or even just giving it a try.
Once you really start appreciating what you are learning and have already learnt, you will see that Taekwondo isn't like other sports such as football and soccer, but that it becomes a part of your life that you can't imagine going without. It gives you confidence to strive to do better at other things in your life. And of course, it's good fun!
