Never Underestimate the Power of Taekwondo Kicks!

On August 14th 2023, the DP Year 1 and DP year 2 girls officially started Taekwondo, followed by the DP boys on August 22nd. As fun as the classes were, the aftermath….let’s just say the DP students had a “good” exercise for the next 2 years. Taekwondo lessons are led by Mr. Ujjal and Mr. Asad, who have helped us take some wonderful pictures and videos for CAS. The first class went by in a jiffy as some basic Taekwondo movements were taught. We started the class with some interesting yet challenging stretches that prepared us for the rest of the class. We had learnt different kicks and punches, such as high raise, the front kick and the in-swing and out-swing. We also learnt the Korean terms for these movements such as “An-Sagi”, “Bakat-Sagi” and “Faru-ligi”. Throughout the class, we focused on perfecting the movements that we have learnt, as well as getting tips and help from Mr. Ujjal. Taekwondo required us to also make a “HA!” sound as we did a movement. Let's just say, some of us lost our voices due to that.

CAS is vital for passing the IB Diploma Programme and taekwondo falls under the “Activity” strand in CAS, as it requires a lot of physical movements. Some of the learning outcomes of Taekwondo could be Challenge and New Skills as well as Perseverance. Taekwondo will help us to stay active as physical movements may be limited to most of us due to study pressure and it will also help us learn self- defense, which is a life skill that is highly recommended by many.
