Taekwondo By: Michael Weedon
Purpose • To educate people about taekwondo • To introduce a sport that has had a major impact in all aspects of my life • To use my newfound website-designing skills by making a website about my favorite sport
Problems I Faced • Getting buttons to work! • Finding a relevant JavaScript app • Keeping within five minutes
What I learned • Re-learned Excel • How to edit a JavaScript app to my liking • How to properly synchronize buttons
What is taekwondo? • Originated in South Korea 1950s by the South Korean military • Teaches to be passive unless acting in self-defense • “Be like air; It is heard of yet unseen, and the wind causes damage.”
Fighting Style • Unlike other popular styles such a Ju-Jitsu, taekwondo focuses on striking and breaking • The leg is the most powerful weapon in the human arsenal
Me in taekwondo • I have a 2nd degree black belt • Training for about 13 years • I want to continue until my 4th degree black belt
