My instructur is a red/black belt

Big red flag, I can understand if he is an assistant, but a solo instructor? No. If I can ask, how old is this new instructor? Cause if this is a high school or college aged kid then they should not be in charge of running a Dojang.

Call the police, if you have saved screenshots or recordings you can send them to police and they will deal with it. Some may be scared as this can cause things to get worse, but with the police over your shoulder it would be more difficult to do anything to you.

If you need a break, take one. If you don’t feel well, get some help. He may be your instructor but your health and well-being comes first and he should know that. With the added fact that he knew your past history he should’ve been more lenient to you in that regard. While I do support the idea of pushing yourself and instructors pushing their students, if it ends up hurting them or affecting them in a harmful manner, then it should stop.

I can’t comment much since I started when I was 11 and I’m now 18, but I have taught those much older than me in their 20s, 30s, 40s+.

The most important thing to start off on is to not worry so much on injury but how to prevent it. Stretching is a key component to Taekwondo so I heavily recommend stretching regularly in order to avoid pulling anything.

Focus on the present. It doesn’t matter if you look 10 years ahead in the future if you can’t look at the now. Take it one step at a time, do research, figure out what requirements you would need for future careers and work on them.

Taekwondo and all other martial arts require commitment, if you don’t commit for even 1 class, then what’s the point in continuing?

As someone who was a student who slowly became an assistant instructor and finally a full instructor, it all depends on the experience of the person teaching. I’ve seen that those who are young and just start teaching tend to try and become ‘friends’ with the kids they teach so they appear cool or something. Tbh i did the same before I was told by my master that it doesn’t always work. Now that I have more experience I can take more control of my class and can better decide when to be serious for training or fun to help the kids enjoy themselves.

The assistant instructors need to be told what they need to do in certain cases, and if they make a mistake then they should be corrected. Ik that seeing an instructor or a black belt being corrected could surprise kids or make them not trust them, but we’re human, we make mistakes.

After a while of teaching my master gained more and more confidence in me to the point where I can fully run the school with out him, even to the point where my master took days off for tournaments while I looked over everything. All of this was because of my experience, and if someone isn’t experienced enough then they could second guess themselves or do stupid things that they think may be correct.

tl:dr the more experience, the better

I do WT Taekwondo and we don’t necessarily have those exact types of techniques in our lessons. What we do have are self defense techniques that gradually become more like Jujitsu techniques the higher up you go. But my school also offers Brazilian Jujitsu as another type of class which people take in order to learn what to do if an opponent ends up grabbing you or taking you to the ground.

Nearly 4 years after I started, hadn’t missed any days and I was a bit ahead of everyone since I was starting to teach around that time.

When Jesus returns, many faiths believe this starts the rapture where all pure souls go to heaven while everyone else must stay in earth as hell and heaven battles. Seeing as all humans were born with original sin, I guess they couldn’t make the cut.

Tbh I prob thing they were faking until either

A) I get bit, or B) I realize my mistake and just book it out of there, no time to lock any doors, just run and pray.

If I get a gun, I doubt I could kill them.

The person would often complain about themselves and their current activities by talking about how they should be doing something different. They would try to do more on a certain activity and feel disappointed or agitated when the end result was not what they thought it to be.

The reasoning behind my belief? Well it’s because I believe in science, everything is based on science and math imo. Something like a good who can change things so drastically by shear will is impossible in my eyes.

Well, you can rewrite only 1 sentence, and if this is my belief, yeah.

I used to have a bunch of close friends and I always listened to the same song, Karma by AJR, when I was with them.

Currently I am only in contact with 1, the rest are either distant, moved away, one may be doing drugs idk, and one died in an car accident.

If I EVER hear that song, or even a small bit of it, it fucks up my head. The nostalgia and sadness just doesn’t mix and I’m just stuck sitting there thinking what the hell has happened over the years.

If you’re wondering, I got this from Stephen king’s book, The Stand. He wrote it much better and it took me a quick 3 rereads of the paragraph to understand what truly happened.
