My Taekwondo journey🥋

So after coming to the university, the sport I chose to continue is taekwondo.I actually got into taekwondo because of the person who invited me to do it.So most of the time almost everyone has someone they want to follow.So it was that kind of person in my life who invited me to do taekwondo too.So because of that reason and my passion for martial arts, I was tempted to do it.🥋

Anyway, I was a little scared when I went to practice on the first day.Because it is a new experience for me.But when the practice was over on the first day, I thought that I would continue doing this because the sport of taekwondo really touched my heart.❤️

But after practicing for so many days, in the end only four of us were left to practice.But the four of us continued to practice daily.So the big reason we continue to stay is must be our master.Because master is a amazing  teacher.I have never seen master's discipline from any other teacher. Also, he is a very humble person. His interest must have encouraged us to continue.His effort is so great that within a month he made the four of us who were new to taekwondo lose their fear and made us participate in the SLUG tournament which is the biggest sport tournement held between goverment universities all over the Sri Lanaka only after a four years.And what cannot be forgotten is that our master is a very handsome young guy.😁

So we went to Trincomalee to participate in our first Taekwondo tournament.Anyway, due to some reasons, it was very late when we went to the place where the match was held.So our master called us and told us to come ready for the match.So that's why our master called us and told us to come ready for the match, because I was scheduled to play in the first match.So we put on taekwondo clothes that we have never worn and ran to the building where the match had been organized.So as soon as we entered the door, our master came running there.I couldn't imagine what was going to happen.Master took off all the shields I was wearing as soon as I reached the door.That's when I realized that I had put them on wrongly, if I had gone in, I would have been ashamed.However, we were not able to give victory to the only university where only four girls participated.🥋

So after the SLUG tournament, we had the opportunity to go to an inter university Taekwondo match again after a month.But this time I was able to win a silver medal as my first taekwondo victory. Also, I fulfilled my desire to try an olgul kick.🏅

I am a bit thin, so I can compete in the lightest weight category.Although I have a great desire to gain weight, due to taekwondo, I am committed to control my weight in the under 46kg weight category.Because the most suitable women's sparring event for my height is under 46 kg weight catagory.And also I already ready to make the martial art of taekwondo a part of my life.🥋🏅❤️
