become a black belt

This has always been a goal of mine, though I haven’t been in a position to earn such a thing. I’m putting it on the back burner right now, because I don’t have the financial means to accomplish this yet. I just know, that before I die, I’d like ot earn a black belt in something.

I’m now a red belt so I only have one more belt to go! I know I can do it!

I started taking karate a while ago, and have found it brings many benefits.

Obviously there’s the exercise benefits. If you’re really into it when your forms, they can be a real workout. That naturally helps with stress. But I’ve also found that karate is an awesome way of dealing with anxiety. While I still have the occasional panic attack, it’s not like it was before. I haven’t figured out exactly how martial arts helps. I’m sure the exercise helps, but I think it has more to do with focusing on something.

Another benefit is confidence. I used to feel anxious in unfamiliar or scary places. I’d think about all the ways something bad could happen, but now I can reassure myself that if something should happen, I could defend myself.

I’m about halfway to my black belt. I’m in Utah, this my martial arts school.

i am already taking Tae Kwon Do. I have six more belts until I become a black belt. I am a purple belt now, and i about to be a blue belt in 2 weeks. Almost there.

I would like to become a black belt in taekwondo because it is so much fun i thought i would never find a sport tht i didnt want to quit but finall found it and all though im only an orange belt it is going to be really fun training for it !

I started Tae Kwon Do figuring it would just be great exercise. And it was! But it was also so much more. It was exercise I loved. I wasn’t constantly watching the clock waiting for it to end. Keeping my mind busy on learning the technique kept me from focusing on the effort it took. After class I felt energized. I felt a sense of achievement. In the beginning I never expected to work my way up the belt levels but then I got my first colour belt and then my second. Suddenly, being a black belt was within the realm of possibility. Now I want it!

only just started karate and it’s gon take me like 4 years

I want to be a black belt in Taekwondo. Currently a blue stripe.

I’m on my way

It’s been 2 years now since I fell off the wagon, but those few months that I had a karate class to go to and that one stripe I earned on my belt meant a lot to me. I finally researched my options in the area and added the school karate club’s schedule to my calendar. Once midterms are over next week, I hope to dive back in and get moving again.
