YUSUF the taekwondo master wannabe

Hi! I’m Yusuf. I’m 8 years old. I’m a boy who loves Taekwondo. Every Sunday morning I go to school where I have my class. There are about 40 students and 3 instructors. My chief instructor is Sir Edwin. The others are Miss Annie and another one I can’t remember her name.

Taekwondo teaches us 5 things.
a) Respect
b) Humility
c) Perseverance
d) Self-control
e) Honesty

In the beginning I was a white belter. After I passed my exam, I got my yellow belt. At my class they teach me horse riding stance, forward stance, high kicking, upper block, middle section block and lower block. Today I learn Teguek 1 by numbers. I learn it because I am now a yellow belter. I also learned knife hand strike and elbow strike today.
