journaling (translation made with DeepL)
When Alexandre was 5 years old, he played handball, one of the few sports that took children young. But he soon got tired of it and noticed children dressed in white taking the stairs upstairs. There were no windows on the landing, you couldn't see what was going on behind the doors. We could hear "screams" and impacts. One Saturday, we dared to open the door to see what it was. And that's when Alexandre fell in love with it. He immediately said to me: "I want to do that. We waited until the end of the course and asked if it was possible to try it out. We were told, no problem, he can come next week. So we read up on this sport: taekwondo. It is a martial art and who says martial art says rigour, discipline, respect. Alexandre was confident during his trial and waited for the two months of holidays to be able to come back and take his licence.
Today, he is 13 years old, he still practices taekwondo and is learning the different facets of combat and technique. He enjoys spending time with his club and when he can't fight, he becomes a trainee referee. By the end of the year, he plans to take the black belt exam and become a league referee.
I think we can talk about a love story between Alexandre and taekwondo.
