My Hobby

Until this year I didn't have any hobby (I don't consider watching series an actual hobby) but it's mandatory to take a sport class in this faculty. When I went to the gym to take a sport class I hoped to take a swimming class (because I've already practiced swimming) but the options were only three: Tennis, Athletics and Taekwondo. I didn't liked tennis or athletics because I had to go outside the faculty to practice them, so I decided to take the taekwondo class without any expectations.

Taekwondo is a korean martial art characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. The name Tae Kwon Do means in korean "Tae", to stomp, "Kwon", fist and "Do", way or discipline. There are many schools of Taekwondo. I practice World Taekwondo Federation's way, which is recognized as an Olympic sport.

The truth is that I wasn't very excited about practicing taekwondo but with the passage of time I started to like it a lot. Then I started to practice more days a week and by the end of the last semester I went to my first competition. Sadly I didn't win any fights but this experience encouraged me to practice more and more.
