    I remember having seen one of the Expat youtubers interview a Filipino guy in bacong once who runs like a training ground for kids in bacong, think there was also some martial arts involved, not sure if it was Taekwondo though.

    Suggesting to pray for something certainly isn't good advice to a kid when you don't even know what it's religion is, if any :wink:

    Hello there, Jamjam, it's nice to see you here! You look like a cute little girl who should by now be in 3rd year high school...

    Nowadays, learning useful self defense steps do seem more interesting than boring dance steps indeed. And you do have the right to full opportunities for safe and wholesome recreation and activities, individual as well as social, for the wholesome use of your leisure hours.

    Yet since you are below 18 years old and still a child for all legal intents and purposes in the eyes of the community, you still have the responsibility by law to seek, respect, and obey your parent's guidance at the same time that your parents have the duty by law to supervise your activities, including your recreation. This is because, since 1974, we Filipinos already have laws to follow as children and parents alike, in The Child and Youth Welfare Code (Presidential Decree No. 603 | Philippine Commission on Women).

    Now we do not want you, your parents, or any other person to get in trouble with the law, do we? After all, penalty fines can be very expensive and those stinky prisons can be very crowded.

    Have you talked to your parents about your interest? If not yet, why not ask them first about how to pursue your interest in Taekwondo. Pray about it, too!

    :-) Stay in your earthly father's care and the Lord's, and live a blessed life!
