Terry Chipperfield-harrison50 viewsMy Martial Arts background before Choi Kwang Do, was Judo, a full contact sport. I reached Black Belt 1st Dan and won many tournaments with Medals, Shields and Certificates to my name. But with Judo I also gained many broken bones, dislocated every finger and toe and from this sport over many years eroded the strength in my lower back. It made me wonder, was winning all those medals worth all the pain and agony!
Two years ago, I wanted my 5 year old son to find a Martial Art which could help him defend himself if he were attacked out there on the streets. Judo was my first thought, but luckily for him, my wife and myself, we found Choi Kwang Do.
Choi Kwang Do has been great for many reasons. The main reason, is as a hobby that the whole family can participate in, together. Choi Kwang Do has given our family fitness and has given each one of us confidence.
While practising Choi Kwang Do I have lost over a stone in weight, without dieting. My lower back has become stronger and only three years ago did I have an operation on my right knee, the operation was a failure and afterwards I still had severe pain when just walking upstairs. But thankfully over the past 18 months while practising Choi Kwang Do the pain has become less obvious with hardly any pain in everyday life.
Choi Kwang Do is not a full contact sport. Therefore, it experiences less injuries than many other Martial Arts. It has been adapted for the 21st Century which has appealed to me and gives you a much better understanding of what your body can cope with in everyday life. The dynamics of the Martial Art is formulated through our own body movement, so becomes a natural part of us.
I like the family attitude within Choi Kwang Do and the social side that it has to offer.My son at the age of six had progressed enough to join the Black Belt Academy which has enhanced the pride within our family. I am soon to be 50 years of age, but feel at least twenty years younger, indeed I am probably fitter than twenty years ago, all thanks to Choi Kwang Do.
I am now an Assistant Instructor and my main aim is to assist in the development of others, just as I and my family have already been ably assisted by the excellent leadership from the Instructors within Choi Kwang Do.
If you want to change your life or to feel positive about yourself, then do the one thing that will change your life, for the better. Give Choi Kwang Do some of your time. The saying goes, “You will get back, what you put in”, but with Choi Kwang Do, I personally believe you get back more, than what you put in.
If Choi Kwang Do finds you, then opportunity is knocking, so take that first step and grab that lifestyle you have always wanted. However, If you find Choi Kwang Do, you have already taken that first step, so congratulations. This is a wonderful opportunity for yourself and your family. Mar 16, 2010
