However, there was always great support by other SSLs so I was able to finish the event successfully.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9257 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-1-610x462.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-1-610x462.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-1-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-1-940x712.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-1.jpg 1326w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/>The first session was giving presentation about basic information of Taekwondo. It was great to be able to present about Korean traditional sports Taekwondo. Also, the participants seemed paying attention to the presentation with great interests. However, one demanding point was my role.<\/p>\n<p>Since I was in charge of MC, having role of both MC and presenter simultaneously was quite challenging. It might be better if I had a Taekwondo student club presenting about it, but since it was only about few basic points, I was able to handle it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9258 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-2-610x457.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-2-610x457.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-2-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-2-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-2-940x704.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-2-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-2.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/>Next session was performance by the guests. On the poster, it was mentioned that \u201cYou will be able to watch great performance by professionals!\u201d. However, since the main players for performance session were under age of 18, I worried about the reactions of participants.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the great quality of performance such as breaking the wood board by jumping and Taekwondo movements with K-POP, the reaction and review were positive. The quality of performance was outstanding and a way better than I thought at the beginning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9259 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-3-610x363.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-3-610x363.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-3-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-3-940x559.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-3.jpg 1375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/>Next was the trial session. The participants were able to learn basic Taekwondo movements. One aspect I was really satisfied with was the atmosphere. The Taekwondo director was an amazing leader during this session. He altered the mood of the hall more flexibly and comfortably by giving sessions with full of humor. Everyone was able to learn Taekwondo with laughing all the time in bright and pleasant atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, during the caf\u00e9 time, the participants were freely having conversation with other people around them. Having snacks and drinks, participants took a rest after trial session. I was able to see satisfied faces of participants at the end of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Through this Taekwondo event, I realized the importance of communication once again. By having great communication and interaction with other ICC staffs and participants, everyone was able to enjoy the event with high satisfaction. Overall, it was really great experience and impressive event for me as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9260 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-4-610x345.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-4-610x345.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-4-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-4-940x531.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Taekwondo_pic-4.jpg 1402w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EW.K.(Student Staff) 11\/26, \u201cLet\u2019s Experience Traditional Korean Sports Taekwondo with K-POP\u201d was held.\u00a0 The o [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9101,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95,97],"tags":[94,71,117],"class_list":["post-9261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-other-en","tag-general-en","tag-sports-en","tag-studentstaff-report-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
