many things but among those lessons I learn how to cooperate with others; learn the importance of respecting others: and learned joy of accomplishments.
When I was practicing in class I notice there was a person who outstand others by the skill and agility, but when we all practice together that same person destroyed the whole unity and ruined the group excercise. I realized that society is just like this, such that one can have outstanding knowledge but does not know how to cooperate with other than his knowledge useless. I think that is why colleges stresses on the unity as well as indivialality at same time.
Respect was one of the important element in our lives. When we respect others we automatically raise our selves and earn respects as well. However respecting senor belt was easy but respecting lower ranked belt was very hard. I could not respect them because I look down on them. When I did not show respect to my junior belts they did not respect me because I was younger than them and I was kid. But as I start to learn to respect juniors as well as
Most important thing I learn from martial art was joy of accomplishment. When I practice 4 years and took the black belt test, I became 1st degree black belt. It was the joy that no one can understand as long as they experience by themselves. It was nothing but just a belt, but the joy was greater than any thing. after 1st degree black belt my class became more harsh and vigor. However I overcame these adversity and became 2nd Dan degree black belt because I knew the joy when I accomplish my goal. Whenever I wanted to quite and lie down and relaxe during the classes I reminded about the accomoplisment.
Now I do not quiet no matter how hard and how tire I become because I know when I finally accomplish my goal it is going to be the best feeling that ever exist.
This is why I loved Tang Soo Do and practiced for 7 years. Because it was not just excercise but it was where I was molded and incribed. Reason for mentioning about these lesson was that martial art was the place where I was made and now I want your college to be my next school that become the place of where I fully made.. My interest in writing this essay is to attract attention, wanting to depart from convention and not be
During a wrestling match, you are using all of your previous knowledge of the moves you have been practicing over and over. On top of that you need to have the mental mind set that you are gonna win. You may think it is easy because it's only a six minute match, but all the blood, sweat and tears that us wrestlers put in for those six minutes, may be the happiest or saddest experience of our life. We spend hours a day working with our coaches to make sure our technique is close to perfection as it can get. Most likely, you will win or lose a match on how well conditioned you are. We will usually wrestle a twelve minute match in practice, so that six minute match feels like nothing. Even with the time and effort you put in this sport, they will always be someone who might be just a little better.
It was in my freshman year of high school when I discovered my potential to accomplish great things and the ability to prove myself through determination and endurance. I discovered this when I earned my Black Belt in karate. The journey to the Black Belt commences at the White Belt stage. From there you rank up through a series of tests, proving your skills of martial arts until the level of "High Red Belt." As a high red belt, you start training for your Black Belt test which is separate from all the other belt tests. When I became a High Red Belt training for the Black Belt test promptly began. First I received a personal trainer to
As I thought of this article, many of the issues I have faced as a single Hmong woman in her mid-twenties came to mind. Should I discuss the functional reasons why marriage is so important in the Hmong culture, especially for women? Or do I talk about the lack of eligible, older Hmong men? Better yet, should I complain about the attempts by my relatives to find me a good husband as if it were an unfortunate circumstance that I was single instead of a conscious choice? Thinking it over, though, I decided that all those questions boiled down to one fundamental truth – the Hmong community is still trying to learn how to treat the increasing number of Hmong women who, like me, are making the choice to stay single in their mid-twenties.
People have all different kinds of values, wants, needs, long-term goals, and short-term goals. Their differences come from many places such as religion or age. These differences are what makes each individuals values, wants, and needs make them unique to each person individually. My values, wants, needs, long-term, and short-term goals are all unique to myself.
As the former president of Harvard University, Derek Bok wrote “The most obvious purpose of college education is to help students acquire information and knowledge by acquainting them with facts, theories, generalizations, principles, and the like. This purpose scarcely requires justification.” America needs educated citizens to help maintain the level of intelligence we have in society. Students need to be taught to their specific career and the knowledge needed in that career. Though education students are strengthened for their futures as good citizens. College is a more specialized form of the education they have received throughout their entire schooling and will need for their careers. College prepares students for the future by specializing
Throughout my life, I have met countless role models (supervisors, co-workers, teachers, coaches, my parents) who push me harder and harder every single day so that I will succeed beyond belief in the changing world of today. Respect is also holding you up to an expectation that gets tougher and tougher because I am pushing myself harder. I will always have respect for all today, tomorrow, and the future

Even though Kempo is a martial art style that combines the Five Animals of Shaolin Kung Fu., everyone should join because it helps people learn self-defense, improve self-confidence, become physically fit, have mutual respect for others, and it is cheap at most if not all kempo academies.
Ever since the previous season I had my standards set high. I had placed fifth, which was all right for the time being, but I knew as time went on I needed to push myself and increase my level of wrestling. I decided that I would do whatever it took, through thick and thin. I traveled to small local tournaments in Colorado, and a couple out-of-state tournaments, I even traveled to Delaware. It didn't really matter how I did at these tournaments because it was just all practice until February. So, I lifted and wrestled just about every chance I got. It was all in preparation for one match, six minutes.

When we are young, we all have our own unique dreams and aspirations for what we wish to do when we are “older.” As we grow older, we begin to realize that some of our dreams are unattainable, while others are able to achieve their dreams. Whether one is the first person or the latter, we are spoon-fed the idea of attending college. We all hear how college is our “gateway to success,” and how “our entire lives depend on college.” Pressures bear down on high school students, telling them that they must attend college to be capable of anything in life. But people do not realize the detriments that are also associated with attending college. Students should not be pushed to attend colleges as there could be several factors that play in a student’s
Throughout the years, I have had to deal with many trials, and challenges. Growing up BI-racial had a big affect on both my parents’ relationship, my relationship with my parents (which later on lead to their separation). There were cultural clashes within my household; my mother who was from Korea, and my father who was from Panama. I had learned to depend on myself, my friends, and most importantly, on God.

Training for my black belt required a great deal of physical training. Every Saturday morning, I had to get up at six in the morning to go to the track. I would run a mile, do a bunch of pushups, sit-ups, burpees, army crawl and much more. Doing this first thing every Saturday morning was a lot of work, however, I still enjoyed it. Once a week I was also required to do an hour long cardio class. I remember my heart pounding so hard after class I thought I might collapse. To help me eat healthy I was to record all that I ate the three months before testing for my black belt. Furthermore, I wanted to do my best so I would even do some training that was not required of me. During the week I enjoyed heading to the track to do a mile run because I wanted to be as fast I could for my
