I heard people talking ’bout that glory kickboxing belt thing. What is that? Sounds fancy, huh? Just like some kinda wrestling thing we saw on TV.
Some young folks in our village, they wanna learn this kickboxing thing. They said it can make them strong. And they can get that glory kickboxing belt! They even dream about being famous, just like those people on TV!
How to get that belt
That’s not easy I guess. First, you gotta find a place to learn. And that coach, he’s gotta be good, you know? Then you gotta practice, practice, practice! Every day, punching and kicking.
- Punching like this, jab, cross, hook, they said.
- Kicking is hard, that roundhouse thing, and front kick, oh my leg!
- Gotta be strong, gotta run, gotta jump.
- Eat good, sleep good, no lazy bones!
They said you gotta wear some kinda special clothes when you fight, like shorts and gloves. Protect your hands, you know? Can’t fight with bare hands, too dangerous. Heard some guys in the next village broke their hands. That’s gonna hurt so bad!
Oh, and the belts! They got different colors, just like those candies. White for new guys, then yellow, then, I don’t know, maybe green, blue, red? Finally black! Black is the best, they said, that means you are really, really good at it!
They said it will take a long time to get that black one. Maybe 3, 4 years! Oh, that’s a long time! And you gotta pass some tests, show them you know how to kick and punch right.
That teacher, they call him “Sensei” or something, he will give you a paper if you are good. That means you can get a new belt. Sounds complicated.
That glory thing
So that glory kickboxing belt, it’s like the best of the best, right? Only the strongest, fastest, smartest fighters can get it. They fight in a big place, with lots of people watching. Just like a big show!
Those young folks in our village, they really want that. They said they will train hard, every day. They wanna be champions, make everyone proud. Hope they don’t get hurt though, those kicks look painful!
I saw some videos, those fighters, they are tough! They kick so high, so fast! And they can take a hit, too. Not like me, I get a little bump and I cry.
They said one guy, he just signed up for that glory thing. He’s gonna fight in December. Wow, that’s big time! He trained for 12 years! That’s like, forever!
Wish those kids good luck. Hope they can get that shiny glory kickboxing belt someday. But more importantly, I hope they stay safe. Fighting is dangerous, you know.
What you need for kickboxing
If you wanna do this kickboxing thing, you need some stuff.
- Gloves, to protect your hands.
- Shorts, so you can kick high.
- Maybe some kinda shoes, I’m not sure.
- A good coach, to teach you the right way.
- And lots and lots of practice!
Don’t be lazy! You gotta train hard if you want that glory kickboxing belt. And don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right away. It takes time, they said. Just like planting seeds, you gotta wait for them to grow.
Why people do this
Some people do it for fun, some do it to get strong. Some, like those young folks, they dream of being famous, getting that glory kickboxing belt.
It’s a tough sport, that’s for sure. But I guess it teaches you something, too. Discipline, they said. And respect. And how to never give up.
Those are good things, I guess. Even if you don’t get that shiny belt, you still learn something, right? You get stronger, you get tougher, you learn how to fight for what you want.
But still, be careful! Don’t get hurt! That’s the most important thing.
Anyway, that’s all I know about that glory kickboxing belt thing. Sounds exciting, but also scary! I’ll stick to my knitting, thank you very much.
But hey, if you wanna try, go for it! Just remember what I said, be careful, train hard, and don’t give up! Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be a champion! And make this old lady proud.
