As with anything else, if you have a talent for tae kwon do, you will learn it faster and perform better. But you don’t need talent to learn it. Anyone can learn it, except for some physical disabilities, and even then you might be surprised what you can overcome.

The key to learning tae kwon do isn’t talent, but persistence. If you enjoy it, you will work hard at it, and it often won’t even seem like work. The more time you spend doing it the better you will get, even if it doesn’t always seem that way.

If you have a talent for tae kwon do, you may find it easy to make progress. You may think you don’t need to work as hard as others. This is true, but if you don’t, then you squander your advantage, doing only as well as others when you have the chance of actually being great.

Do your best in practice, every time. Be your best. If you drop out, you will get rusty, and forget some things. Even if you have the talent, you won’t accomplish as much if you drop out as someone who stays in. And before you know it, 20 years will have passed, and you will be amazed at how far you have come if you stick with it.

This doesn’t, of course, only apply to tae kwon do. If you have a talent for something and enjoy it, you can go very far with it. If you only enjoy it, you will still go far, much farther than someone with the talent who quits doing it.
