Martial arts

Hi! Today, I’m going to talk about one of my passions: the martial arts.

Since I was a child, I’m a big admirer of the martial arts in all its ways. Some people say that certain kind is better than other but I have the highest regard for every manifestation. I can remember how my father used to teach karate to my sister and me when I was 4 or 5. He was who passed on me his enthusiasm for this, I think... and I`m very grateful to him. My heroes always have been Bruce Lee and Jet Lee, both famous martial artists. I’ve seen all their movies, I swear.

When I was 12 I started to practice Tae Kwon Do, a korean martial art in a serious way. When you practice a martial art you realize it’s more than a sport. Martial arts are as a philosophy of life. Martial arts introduce me to values such as perseverance, tolerance and self control. Before I played many disciplines and I never was constant because I to become disheartened quickly.  In turn, I`ve practiced TKD for years and let’s carry on. I’ m still enthusiastic as ever.

Many people seem to be prejudiced against these disciplines.   Some people say that they are violent too competitive. I think that is debatable and unfair.  These people should give it a chance because it’s a beautiful discipline.
