Things I want to do before I Become Like MJ: Learn Martial Arts


About a decade ago, during my grade school days, I took taek wondo classes for over 2 years. I had a lot of fun training with my friends and especially my partner. My partner and I used to make up our own moves and mock our Sensei’s moves. But just because we used to mock our Sensei’s moves does not mean we did not respect him. I idolized him so much back then. I admired his speed, strength, stamina and discipline. I’m proud to say that I learned a lot from him and that I actually can still do some of the moves I learned from him. Unfortunately, however, being the kid that I was, I easily got tired of taek wondo and moved on to a next hobby which was basketball.

At present, a lot of my friends are taking jiu jitsui, muay thai and the like. I, on the other hand, am too lazy to actually enroll myself in one and go to the trainings a couple of times a week. But I’m hoping that I would be able to find time and get over my laziness and actually start training again. I know that learning martial arts would not only teach me how to defend myself but also teach me self-discipline.
