My Extracurricular activity

My extracurricular activity is Taekwondo and it is my favourite activity/ thing to do.

For Taekwondo if you want your black belt you need to be selected for a black belt exam. This photo is me before going to my black belt exam and that test was the longest exam I’ve ever done or will do. This test was almost 10 hours long because me and about 40 other people were testing for ether there first degree black belt or 2sd 3thd 4th degree black belt. To get your black belt in my studio you need to know your black belt oath, student creed, student oath, poomsae, basic movements, one step sparing and the board braking. In Taekwondo the are 9 degrees of black belt when you are at 4 to 6 degree you are a master but at 7 to 9 degree your a grand master. I am hoping to get my 2nd degree black belt in 1 or 2 years.

 

In this picture I am holding my black strip 2 belt my black strip 2 degree and the board I broke. I broke that board by doing a kick called jumping tree sixte spinning hooking kick. This was 1 and a half years ago and this is the belt before black belt. All of the belts are white, yellow strip, yellow, green strip, green, blue strip, blue, red strip, red, black strip 1, black strip 2 and all the black belt degrees. When I got the belt in this picture I thought that when I get my black belt next I would quite. when I did get it my black belt I didn’t quite because I want to be a master black belt. This is a very hard and complicated activity there are so many different forms and stances to memorize.

 

the way I got into Taekwondo is my friend was doing Taekwondo and I loved Kung-Fu panda so I joined at the age of 7. I actually use to be in an other studio but then it got shut down ad turned into a liquor store. I went to my new studio when I was 9 thankfully they let me start at the belt I was at when I left my old Taekwondo studio. My new studio was bigger it hade a mat room and a floor. My new master instructor is way nicer and more fun than my old place instructors.
