Oh, I had many accomplishments, yet. Probably you thing of Awards, Prices, the Gold Medal when you hear accomplishments, but I ain't got non of these.

My first accomplishment was starting TKD. Took me quite a while as a young boy to get in that place where I didn't know anybody.

My second accomplishment was managing all the discipline, getting the words of the kicks sorted out and everything.

Well, I could talk of an accomplishment when I got my yellow belt, but what is it really? Actually it is just naming one certain step where there are no steps. Taekwondo experience is not really growing in steps, its floating up. you steadily get better every time you practice.

My next accomplishment was probably when I started doing Taekwondo again after some years. I was a yellowbelt who at first felt like he had forgotten everything. The fear of blaming myself was there because as a yellowbelt they expect you to know the basics.

Finally my probably greatest accomplishment is doing TKD itself. Everytime I go to my TKD School I learn something new. Everytime my stretching gets better, my pushups get more and my kicks get higher. This is like a totally fluent accomplishment which keeps me doing and loving Martial Arts.

I mostly listen to Techno and Hip Hop but sometimes when I need some relaxing music, for example when stretching at home or doing Kimoodo.

Has been a long time since I have been reading one of those. Actually currently the only books I take a look into once a while are those about Computers, those books I need for my job.

So who am I really? I am currently in the state where I am finding that out. Grandmaster Joon P. Choi (9th Dan) said when he tought us Kimoodo: Usually a human knows about 10% of himself. If you try to find out more you have to look inside. You can find out the other 90% and experience so many new things, if you only knew 95% of yourself you fell as if you could fly!

I am member of the "Oliver Drexler's Martial Arts Center". Now Oliver Drexler himself can be called one of the most successful Martial Artists in germany. He has started with Taekwondo, does Karate and Kickboxing and is one of the few people teaching Sports Chambara in Germany. He has won quite a lot World Championchips, European Champianchips and other big contests.Also 2 of his students became World Champions lately.

Our School teaches Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Sportschambara and Karate. Now you might want to ask me: So how come you do Kimoodo? Well, when Grandmaster Joon P. Choi came over to our school he tought us the basics of Kimoodo and I bought his DVD showing the Technics again. Now I am teaching myself.

However back to the school: We have a pretty large Dojang which is actually kind of split into 2 large rooms where we do Taekwondo, Kickboxing and Chambara and once a while Kimoodo. Our third Dojang is located in an other city and specialiced on Karate but yet I don't do Karate and so I don't go to the other Dojang very often.

I do Kickboxing every Tuesday and Thursday for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours and Taekwondo every Wednesday and Friday usually for an hour. Besides that I practice Kimoodo every Day half an hour on my own at home and on that occation I do some extra Stretching because I want to become more Flexible.
