Building Friendships and Confidence Through World Taekwondo

The Joy of training: How World Taekwondo Built My Confidence

The Joy of training: How World Taekwondo Built My Confidence.

My name is Gabriel and I started World Taekwondo as a white belt and now I am a junior black belt. I have been training for almost eight years and I have had so much fun doing it because you never get bored. When you are training, you always have something new to learn.

Gabriel standing in front of the World Taekwondo flag with blue and red text and graphics. The Flag reads WORLD TAEKWONDO in bold red letters with the logo of the World Taekwondo Federation prominently displayed in blue and red. Below the logo, the text Power, Morality, Confidence & Fitness is written in blue. Gabriel is positioned slightly to the right of the centre of the image, facing the camera with a neutral expression. He has short, dark hair and is wearing a black World Taekwondo t-shirt with a green graphic of a taekwondo fighter in mid-kick. The background consists of a beige brick wall with a purple stripe running horizontally across the top. The wall is clean and is part of a gymnasium. The floor is wooden, and there is a door to the left of the young man, which is slightly ajar, revealing a dimly lit interior. The overall atmosphere of the image suggests a formal or official setting, related to a taekwondo event.

World Taekwondo has helped me stay fit, and I have made a lot of friends through World Taekwondo because everyone is very friendly. I feel that World Taekwondo has helped me build up my confidence; you need to be confident when you are doing the grading, and you need to be confident if you are teaching. All the confidence really helps you to believe that you can do it.

I have also been lucky enough to learn World Hapkido as well from Grand Master Wahid Halimee. I feel like hapkido training is a calmer version of taekwondo. In hapkido, your goal is to try to create harmony when you are sparring, and this helps because it really gets you to clear out the mind and just relax.
