Hi everyone!
Do you enjoy sports?
I didn’t like PE lessons in primary school, but I started going to taekwondo classes last year and I love it!
During my first lesson, I found out that taekwondo is a Korean martial art and it’s about 2,000 years old.
Taekwondo takes place in a dojang* and we wear a special uniform.
We also wear a belt and its colour shows what level we are.
I had a white belt when I started, but now I have a green one.
One day, I want to have a black belt like my teacher.
In taekwondo competitions, we wear a helmet and pads for protection.
Two people fight each other and we get points for kicks and punches.
However, we are always polite to the person we are fighting because, more than anything, taekwondo is about respect.
What about you?
What sport do you do?
