OK i started at 15 and done 3 years training then depression hit me and part of depression is losing interest in what you once loved i am just now getting back into the swing of things now that im better and all

as for the kids at my club theres hundreds of them most of them are black belts now and when i went at 15 there where green belts the stick at it becasue they can earn bags that are put on there suits and tags on there belts they have goals to work towards kids need that to keep interest in what there doing

My best friend Andy. we have been going to TKD school for 6 years at this point and im 10 and he is 13 He takes a break for 3 eyars comes back and forgot all his bad habbits in his katas. He scored 3rd in katas in the state of michigan. Whereas I have been going since i was 4 and I lost intrest but the thing that kept me motivated was the fact that I was in the adult classes at age 8. So I kept at it and I got my blackbelt In june of 2005. I was extremely happy that all my hard work had paid off but I think people who just quit like one belt away from black belt are stupid people. not because they are physically impaired but the people who are stupid because "they cant do it" Fooey I made it and you can to. Mind over mater.
