I want to go further in my martial arts so that I can learn all kinds and types. In my time of doing this sport I have learned American karate, I was exposed to Taekwondo, and I am learning Traditional karate. But as my instructor said, “To become great at martial arts you have to devote yourself and learn all you can”, and I plan to do so. Also, I want to eventually go to national championships. I want to be able…

a trailblazer that helped open the floodgates for Korean baseball players in the KBO to be able to come over to the United States and sign bigger contracts. In a nutshell, Choo put the KBO on the map and he even opened the gates for Major League baseball players to go to South Korea and find their game again in an attempt to extend their career. With that said, the last player we will discuss in terms of notable athletes to come from South Korea is actually an American born player that came to…

Faezeh Rafsenjani, daughter of Akbar Rafsenjani, then the…

I will always claim that festival opened my eyes, and Maja Aro was my instructor for "Stuntwomen 101." Therefore, I am pleased to share with you my interview with Lisa Chandler, stuntwoman and actress extrodinaire! I was thrilled that she took the time to inform me about how she got started in the business, her…

High school is nothing compared to college or university. In college, there 's absolutely no one who would hold your hands and guide you on things you need to do. You are not a baby anymore. You need to have discipline yourself and if you don 't, then you might need to spend another thousand dollars to take that class again. I wish some of my high school teachers would give me an advice for college. There 're so many things that most teachers from high school had never told us about college. By…

a medical expert nor a diabetic. Instead, I focused on something I knew I could offer: my mentorship. In fact, some of my most vivid memories from TIDES are not from the program at all: taking Jimmy to Central Park's Winter Festival, watching a taekwondo tournament with Shatema, and visiting Tina at the hospital. The kids knew that I gave them advice they needed to hear, but what made them actually listen were our friendships. My willingness to connect with them and earn their trust is a quality…

In addition to the prevalence of concussion in boxing, Moriarity et al. state that “amateur boxers participating in a carefully supervised competition can have cognitive impairment suggestive of a concussive injury despite the…

I started for my black belt when I was in kindergarten or first grade. I decided to take classes at my elementary school, Vista Grande, and I was interested in pursuing Taekwondo. I started to go to the official location for classes. I started with my white belt and worked my way up. For each belt, I had to learn a few skills and a form, which is a series of movements.

all his wants, needs, and desires. If his needs or wants weren’t met to his satisfaction he was tense and felt anxiety. As I mentioned before Roberto doesn’t tend to eat at the same time like the rest of the family because he spends four hours at Taekwondo and it conflicts with dinner time. However, one day he was hungry at an unusual time and he demanded to eat with his parents and at the moment it was impossible to have something cook for him so he was uncomfortable until he…
