Taekwondo

Reminder..

It's been like ages since that uniform was worn. i put it on yesterday. Many beautiful memories are bound to it, and some painful ones too becoz of all the bruises and broken fingers suffered during training and competitions! But it's special. i can't say i don't miss putting ice on the bruises or not eating a decent meal for weeks to loose weight :P let alone performing the Axe kick and Pomsaes :)



we were taught to treat everything from the belt to the hitting target with respect, becoz all has an important role to play in our success.

The coach used to say: " Taekwondo must be here and here (point to mind and heart) before being here (point at legs), that's the key to succeed in it". This happens to apply not only in Taekwondo.

A wonderful and ancient sport. if taught and used seriously, it could have a magnificent effect in one's life. it's more than just adding additional bars to the belt. it's about harmony and applying physics laws. Also a good escape when u need a break from all the troubles around. plus u get to kick butts in an official way, and sometimes get ur's kicked (unfortunately) :P :P

it's been some pretty cool old days; being an athlete, in the national team, assistant trainer. i can't wait to be back there again.
