Black Belt Narrative

Improved Essays
The first time Mr. Sam assigned me to a younger kid class was after I got my first degree black belt. I was so scared I did not know what to do or what to say. In about 5 minutes the younger kids started liking me, we started having a lot of fun and after that day I was no longer scared of working with the younger kids. Now I love teaching the younger kids because they just want to have fun and they do not care if you mess up because they just laugh at it and move on. They accept you as you are and don’t care about your mistakes. I also attend Legacy Enrichment School and volunteer to take care of the younger kids in the morning. I have learned to love younger kids and that I like helping them as much as I can.

Karate had a big goal for me because I had to pick a weapon for my 2 Degree test. It started out weird because I was only doing stances. I put my mind to it and learned how to do the basics using a fan first and then try the difficult stuff.
Being a black belt helped me with my fears. My fears used to be sparring in class, leading class, and talking to parents. If I was never a black belt I would never be able to do talk to parents. I learned to talk to parents because they would ask me how was there kid today and I had to respond to them. I learned to speak better and with more confidence. It was scary at times but I know I can do it and can overcome anything with a little help from Mister Sam, Miss Alley, my family and my friends because I know they will help me up. I will do the same for them because that is what a black belt does.

You haves to show the lower belts how they are spule to act and shows them the right way to do it. The black belts have to be an example to the lower belts. Because if we do it silly then the lower belts will do it silly. Like on December 5 2016 Mister Sam told us to get in line for one steps, Michelle ran to get in line and all the kids that were sitting close to her ran to. While Tim walked to get in line for one steps and all the kids sitting close to him walked too. You can see why the black belts have to be an example so the other kids can follow so when they are black belts they can do the same thing. When you are a black belt the perisher is on when I first got my black belt I found myself slowing down for the lower belts I though that it was weird but my sister send that it was normal and keep doing it and I did one day one of the lower belts after class said ‘thanks for slowing down because I got lost and that helped me “I felt proud about myself because I helped a lower

    I feel that getting Black Belt is a huge accomplishment in my life. I feel really powerful and i learned so much respect throughout my journey of being in Taekwondo. I got inspired by watching the karate kid because I've always wanted to to be a Black belt in my life so me and my brother decided to join Taekwondo and go through all the belts and learn the moves and forms. I am so happy about the day finally coming for me getting my black belt. Now i never will have to worry about getting any bad people fighting because the number one thing i have learned to do in Taekwondo is walk away from the guy and do not say anything.…

    As I entered into Mrs. Cindy Rodgers classroom, I felt the fear come back, I do not think I can work with students of this age. 3rd-grade students, I felt lost and out of place. 22 students, around 9 years of age, just don’t seem to be my forte. But on the other note, this class definitely surprised me. With 14 girls and only 8 boys, the class was sat up on a totally different way than I have ever seen a class.…

    I believe I have learned as much out of school as I have in school on how to work with children. This comes for the two jobs that I have done during my time at UW-Oshkosh. The first job was a summer camp in Massachusetts called Greylock. During my time there, I was a camp counselor in a sleep over camp. I was in charge of a bunk of nine twelve year old boys.…

    I would say that achieving the level of black belt is liberating in a way, because not only is it a regression to the basics, it removes the material aspect of the game. Learning karate transcends from a race to the next colour, to an intimate experience of the self. This is something I experienced when I got my black belt three years ago. I feel like at that point, learning Kata was not a step towards getting my next belt; it was learning kata for the sake of learning it. Rather than extrinsically enjoying learning, which involves enjoying the end goal of an action, it became intrinsic enjoyment, which is the enjoyment of the action…

    As we’ve studied the different types of educational philosophies in class, I’ve been able to see which category my beliefs fall into and where that puts me in the teaching world. Throughout my educational career, my family and teachers have shaped my philosophy into a combination of both romanticism and progressivism. As a teacher I want to be able to help a student strive for self-fulfillment while focusing on individual student’s learning processes. Based on my ideals, I want for my classroom to be a place where my students can go to learn in a way that suits their personality, and in a non-pressured environment. I want to be able to engage my students and challenge them to learn based on their interests.…

    As those people came and went and as I out lasted all of them I have built up a good amount of seniority. As a result I receive all the little perks that accompany seniority, the parking spot, one of only a couple lockers, special discounts on equipment, and access to the gym whenever I feel like it. Different people are there for different reasons. Some are there to get themselves in shape, others are there to learn self-defense, and then a number of others such as myself are more involved in the sport aspect of it.…
