Taekwondo 25/8

The goal with Taekwondo is to earn a yellow belt. I'm not a "martial arts" kind of guy, so this will really be a challenge! The first training session was really tough! I realized quite fast that I'm stiff as a board and for taekwondo you need to be really flexible.

My trainer Maxwel and I in our outfits. Max came second in the World championship a few years ago - so he REALLY knows taekwondo!

After a few classes I quickly got better and now I can brag about a mean roundkick. After every class Max massages me. It hurts bad, but I wouldn't be able to move the day after if he didn't do it. We also talk about the mindset of martial arts, it is a very disciplined sport and you should not be angry while fighting. Total focus is needed in a fight and you need to be very strategic. This is very interesting and something I need to learn by practicing the moves and the mindset. I'm starting to think that I will learn a lot through Taekwondo!
