| Embarking on the journey of teaching Taekwondo to children has been an enlightening experience that transcends mere physical training. It's about nurturing a deep understanding of this martial art's essence, harmonizing the mind and body in ways that often defy initial expectations.
In teaching Taekwondo, it becomes clear that knowledge of the sport itself, while crucial, is just the beginning. A profound comprehension of its philosophy and the natural processes that govern our physical bodies is essential. This understanding illuminates why, despite knowing the movements intellectually, children might find their bodies uncooperative at the outset.
It's a reminder that teaching—and learning—Taekwondo is as much about patience and perseverance as it is about kicks and punches.
Having the opportunity to teach Taekwondo to kids in the US has been a joyful endeavor. It's not just about instructing them in the physical actions but guiding them through the discovery of their own physical capabilities and limitations. Witnessing their progress, as they align their intentions with their actions, is a deeply rewarding experience.
This journey reinforces the belief that to teach effectively, one must first understand deeply. And in the context of Taekwondo, this means appreciating its comprehensive demands—physical, mental, and spiritual. It's a path that teaches us all, instructors and students alike, that mastery is a lifelong pursuit.
