“A martial student stretches to improve his/her flexibility. Improved flexibility means better technique, increased power and more enjoyment in training. Correct stretching also provides many health benefits. Some of these are improved circulation, reduced anxiety, stress and fatigue, improved mental alertness, better posture, and decrease in the risk of muscle injury and muscle inflammation. By paying close attention to correct stretching a Taekwon-Do student can enjoy years of training and prolonged good health and well being.”

But as much as I understood the art of Taekwon-Do, I had a strong desire and vision to reach the heights of the art in my country – Ethiopia. So, with all the effort and sacrifice required to master the art, I was able to complete my training time and practice better alongside my regular work.
