Note: I am battling a cold, so I am stuffy. There are quite a few pauses in the audio in the presentation above as I try not to sneeze or cough. Sorry in advance.
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art I study and teach. Taekwondo involves self-defense and fighting, but that's not all it encompasses. It's a lot more than just kicks and punches. We strive to become better people, instill positive values, teach people to be humble and respectful to all. I know I have become a better person since I have started training in Taekwondo. I have learned a lot about self-control, patience, and the power of kindness.
Our mission is to see underprivileged children have the opportunity to participate in Taekwondo. Women in Taekwondo provide children who require the most attention and resources.
We want to give hope and provide the tools children need for a better life with our service. Recent studies indicate that children are less physically fit today than in past generations. Child obesity is at an all time high. There are a number of factors that contribute to child obesity and my foundation wants to help them active so that they can live happier, healthier, and longer lives.
Taekwondo will provide improved their physical fitness, it enhances their self-esteem, improves their concentration, and build their confidence and social skills.
In addition, our foundation assists women in a number of ways. Women In Taekwondo want to empower women teach them fundamentals of safety and self-defense for those who can not find those resource readily available. For example, women are still victims of kidnap and rape after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, these women need our help. They need health services, medical aid, and we want to go in and empower these women.
On average it costs about $2000 dollars a year for children to train in Taekwondo. We raise fund and donations are used to provide children scholarships to train in classes, we provide underprivileged children and women free classes in Taekwondo.
We know that providing the Taekwondo philosophy of courtesy, integrity, respect, perseverance, self-control, and determination will benefit children and women positively and greatly.
Nice job on the presentation, you did a nice job on the video. I saw plenty of infographics you can use for this week’s twitter assignment! I hope you are feeling better soon, you managed to get through the entire presentation pretty well, but you did sound stuffed up. The only thing I will comment on is the fact that you had some really great statistics in the video that you didn’t use in the actual written post for this. I would have liked to read, in the written portion, the statistics you used since it really helped persuade the audience in the video.
