People don't know my love for Tae Kwon Do. As a blue-white belt holder, the confidence and peace filled me. The belt meant much more than the combination of colors for me, it meant an advancement towards not only mastering a martial art but also learning the way of peace, discipline and the stories of everyone in the academy with me. My love for the art was everlasting and helped me with being fit and keeping my diet controlled. I also took various advices from the masters who taught me, such as the quote "A belt holder always wears that belt even when its not stuck to a waist". I believe that any martial art such as Tae Kwan Do can empower an individual towards discovering a unique perspective to life and embark on a transformative path with the discovered strength from the martial art.
