My Life as a Martial Artist (Very Short)

When I was about six or seven years old, my dad and siblings showed me all these Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan movies. When I saw them, I was like, "whoa that's really cool! How do they do that? I wish I could fight like that!" My mom realized that I was very interested in martial arts, so she told me about a place called Kuk-Sool-Won of Peoria. Kuk-Sool-Won is a ancient, traditional, Korean martial art that is not very known to a lot of people. This type of martial art is really cool. What I was doing in training is like what they do in the movies, only better. I have been training since I was 10.

When I moved, It made it really difficult for me to continue my training, so I haven't trained in a long time. But I am trying my best to bring my training back up. I made it so close to becoming a black belt, and I'm not going to let that slip away. I am currently one belt below black belt. But if I put my mind to it, I believe I can accomplish becoming a black belt. "I am strong, I am smart, and good at heart." -- In Hyuk Suh (Grandmaster of Kuk-Sool-Won)
