Self-defence/Yoga

Action

Summary

Self-defence and yoga were both activities in which we had the opportunity to participate during the grade 12 retreat. I participated in both of them and really enjoyed them even thought I didn't really want to do it in the begginig because it didn't look interesting to me. We had a teacher who taught us the basics and explained the discipline in more details than I previously knew it.

What I learnt

Both activities were quite  fun to me once I've tried them. From this experience I learnt one of the most important things in life, which is not to judge anything before I try it. In fact, I used to really dislike yoga because it seemed too 'calm' for me but I proved myself wrong after I tried it and learnt a good lesson for the future. Similarly for self defence, I didn't really want to participate in it because it took place early in the morning and I was a bit tired, but however once I tried it, I said to myself that I picked the right decision because if I wouldn't have done it, I would have a missed a good opportunity to not only have fun but also learn new things.
