Hello Masters, boys and girls and parents,
 
I joined Joon No Taekwondo when I was 3 ½ years old.  My mum took advantage of the free trial lessons and let me follow the actions of other children and adults in the class.  I didn’t know what it meant back then but as I went to more classes, I enjoyed the exercising and I began to learn how to stretch, kick and memorise patterns.  The truth is, I didn’t know what each strike or punch meant.  I did not know how to do it properly or what the movement was called…. but now I do. 
 
Then the business changed names to WeiWu Taekwondo with the same Masters.
 
One of the things I liked to do is board breaking.  I also like self-defence and performing poomsae.  However, there has been times that Master Brian would scold at me for ‘dancing’ when I was doing my patterns; and he would ask me ‘not to break the floor’ when I was trying to do the ‘bunny hops’.  I couldn’t even hop on one leg across my knee when I first started! …. but now I can.  Even though I am the slowest, I have tried my best and will continue to improve.

My journey has been enjoyable and fun with WeiWu Taekwondo.  I have learnt a lot of skills and grown from a little boy to a big, TALL boy now.  I am now 9 years old. 
 
I have improved a lot in my strikes, kicking, self-defence, poomsae and in FAST Training – which involves a lot of sweat, tears, practise and persistence. 
 
Taekwondo has pushed me all the way to the end.  
 
I am very proud of myself, and I thank all the Masters and my mum who has been there all this time and taken me to almost every taekwondo lesson. 
 
Even though I have reached Chodan, taekwondo has taught me never to give up …... because there is still so much more to learn.
 
Thank you.
