My Dedication Toward Taekwondo: Mastering Essay Example

next year my attitude changed from having to force myself to go to class to wanting and needing to go to class.

It was at this point the mental training Tae Kwon Do offers started to take over the physical training. I wanted to be able to do all the exercises; I wanted to perform all the more difficult techniques. Like I said before, this requires more than just a strong body, it requires a strong mind. A mind developed through constant dedication. I am now able to perform in class and do all the exercises and all the techniques because I believe that I can. Tae Kwon Do requires focus, concentration, and the willingness and dedication to believe that you can do whatever it is you want to do.

Getting to black-belt will take much dedication and ability and will put my mind to the test. But it’s the ability to believe that I can do it that sharpens my mind and gives me the confidence that I can achieve that goal. Tae Kwon Do has inspired me to become a better person and has given me the discipline and confidence to accomplish any of my goals. The impact from my Tae Kwon Do training has only been positive. The skills taught to me by UMAC that I possess are still forming and changing.

There is always a skill set that must either be developed or maintained. This gives you a sense that you can always gain achievement that is never ending (martial arts for life). If you ever stop your practice, you will eventually lose your skills. So my children and I plan

to keep up with the practice. This means that our relationship with Tae Kwon Do and all the Masters and Instructors at UMAC can last for the rest of our lives. It is being accomplished with my children and can eventually be passed down to my grandchildren. That takes DEDICATION!
