Every sport has a great future in India as there are many sports. I opted
taekwondo because I found numbers of taekwondo classes in my city. And I
think one can easily find a private institute of taekwondo in each city. Let me talk
about Taekwondo.
Taekwondo, Tae Kwon Do or Taekwon-Do is a Korean martial art, it
includes head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking
techniques. Today taekwondo is well known at the international level. Numbers
of competitions are held around the world. People trained in Taekwondo show
their talent in these competitions Taekwondo is an art, but it also has exams for
a number of degrees. It starts from white belt beginner level to a higher level
such as Black Belt degree and so on.
Sports make the body as well as mind strong. In Taekwondo, one can
have a flexible and fit body. Taekwondo is now needed for everyone not to fight
anybody but to use it for self-defence. Everybody should learn it for their
protection. We come to hear about the exploitation of girls and kids in the news.
Therefore, martial arts such as taekwondo should be made compulsory for their
self-defence.
Taekwondo has
been sport
featuring in the
Olympics since
1992. Steve Lopez
is one of the
greatest
Taekwondo
players of all
times. He has won
Taekwondo World
Championship for
a record 6 times

Today I am a taekwondo black belt at the age of 9 years. I feel proud to
be a taekwondo champ. And I want to say that everyone should learn it. It will
make them proud, and self-dependent.
Always think about a few common questions. What will you do
if you are alone and you have to go back home? What will you do, if you were
travelling on train, bus, taxi or auto and someone tries to misbehave with you?
What will you do, if someone tries to steal the money of your bag
or misbehave with your family? There is one simple answer that if you know
how to protect yourself, you can tackle these conditions rather than to cry for
help.
