My Taekwondo Comeback!!
it has been nearly 7 years since my last training. i was completely forgotten everything that i’ve learned since 1996 until 2000. then i’ve left it until now. though i’ve gotten my black belt on 1998 and continue until 2000 during my matrix years, but i feel it is a waste just to let everything gone from my mind. skill might be there but it’s nothing without the continuous practice rite?
i’m longing for this moment quit a long time since i was in my university’s years but that ‘great’ uni hasn’t even manage to make a single taekwondo class until i’ve graduated even though i already paid for the registration fees! what a shamed, i’m wondering whether they have it now or not..hopefully they did!
so, the interesting part was my first training today. havent been training for nearly 7 years really made me suffered. surrounded by young primary & secondary school students around me just like a ring bell that make me admit the facts that i am not YOUNG anymore! i was not like 10 years back when i was 14/15 yrs old, active and energetic and full of stamina. all these make me realized that my body was not really elastic and flexible anymore like the ‘elastic girl’ like 10 years ago.duuuhhh!
time fly so fast and not giving me a chance to realize all this. but i am not regreting anything, day by day make every new things become old. i still feel thankful that this oppurtunity still come and i’m not going to waste any of this chance anymore. though my coach said that i shouldnt stress myself on the training, afraid that i will encounter the muscle injuries but i still hv the spirit for it. yeahh i did felt the pain when i did the strecthing and while kicking & punching. but maybe my passion and my revenge of missing this moment overcome all those pains. though i hv to admit that my stamina was not like my ‘gud old days’…(should i remind myself.. it was 10 yrs back again??)
when i’m looking back, it was all the way long…i dont hv to compare 10 years ago with my current condition. today was my first training, a lot more training can make me better. this is some of my-this-2007-year mission to be accomplish. look as if i started one of it already…but actually this training is for me to recall back all my lesson and sharpen my skill for one main purpose, my japan’s training which was schedule that i’ll be going ALONE. just an in-case-of-emergency preparation for me to defend myself.
after all, i felt so happy that i finally made my comeback and found the ‘master’ nearby my place.
just a little advice maybe, if i may do so. from my view, women out there should have a least a lil knowledge on how to defend themselves because it may help a lot during emergency and trouble! we might not know anything will occur in the future but at least we could do something to save our own life.
just a sincere advice from me..
* i’m sleeping with muscle pain and backache but i’m happy…;p
