A Report About School Club

I am a member of GCA Taekwondo Club and I enjoy this club very much because taekwondo is very useful and elegant.
In 1995，the leader of Korea announced that Korean martial art is taekwondo. Taekwondo this word is a mixture of different meanings, TA means use feet to kick, KWON means use fists to hit, DO means the way to use feet and fists together also a kind of art.
As a girl, it is important to protect myself, especially I will go aboard three years later, so I chose to learn some defend skills now and the activity match to my personal goals.
China is well-known as the country of Kung-Fu, Kung-Fu need to use fists and feet together to fight but 70 percent of taekwondo uses feet. I am thin and weak so the strength on my fists is much smaller to hit people than my feet can, this is the reason that I learn taekwondo instead of Chinese Kung-Fu.
There are more than ten people in our club, we practice taekwondo together and make this more fun. In the beginning of our class, our coaches will first ask us to run around the field and warm our body, and then we will do a series of exercise to make our body stretchy and flexible, ligament is directly connect with the taekwondo level because if ligament is bad we cannot reach the height of other people’s head and kick so the coaches always press on our ligament and the pain usually make us want to cry. After that, each two people make a group and begin to practice kicking, mean while our coaches will correct our action and make us more professional.
My home is continuously very near to my school since I go to kindergarten, it is always takes me less than ten minutes to go to school so it is never possible for me to exercise on the way home or on the way to school and I also too lazy to do any extra-curricular consciously. Since I join this sport club, I have no choice but to do exercise regularly to strong my body and at the same time I have learned a very useful skill to protect myself. Day after day, I find myself really obsess about taekwondo and besides go to club activities I also practice at home.
As a student, have a healthy body is the base to study well so join a sport club is important. Other clubs such as marketing club, drama club and dancing club are focus on our specialties and also very meaningful. But school clubs also have a malpractice that if students put most of their effort into club activities or exercises this must affect their study and consume our energy.

For me, during and after the process, I think I am not that weak girl any more, I become healthier and happier. For GCA, our students accept other country’s culture and become more international and versatile students.
