What you should probably do is search in your area to see if there is a better Taekwondo school. Just make sure the school is not a Mcdojo.
I had something similar happen to me. When I started Taekwondo, the sparring instructor did not like me at all. He would pit me against his best students and I would always get beat up. He was not teaching me how to fight only to stand there and take a beating. My other instructors did however teach me to fight and as a result I got little bit better over time. At around 2 years, I went up against his whole team. I easily wiped the floor with half of them and only about 2 or 3 could actually beat me. I was getting better whether he liked it or not. Eventually all his students quit on him and I was the only one left. I went from being a nuisance to being his only student.
Don't give up you are only 13 years old your real life hasn't even started yet
You are only 13 years old. It is rare that an instructor would actually dislike a student who is not an adult. Rare, but not impossible. If that truly is the case, you should find another Taekwondo school. I also think you should talk to your parents about this. They can give you better advice than we can over the internet.
Some people might think that if a student came in and could beat up everybody in the club, the instructor would not like him or her. If a student came in and could beat up all of my students, I 'd have my students spend time sparring with the new person so that the new person could help them get better. Heck, I'd even try to get time in with the new person so that I could get better. But the truth is, if someone really was better than everyone at a particular school or club, they would not train there in the first place, they'd find another place or approach that suits their needs.
The only students an instructor may truly dislike is one who is disruptive and disobedient----the same type of person that anyone would dislike. Even in that instance, most teachers would still try to work with the person, hoping to be a positive influence. Now there are instructors out there who are bullies. Those teachers are a minority. Most instructors are really there to help you.
No, he's going to think that you have a lot of perseverance, and that you don't give up easily. Do what your heart tells you to do. If you want to do taekwondo, go do it. Tell your instructor that you felt insecure, or just lie and say that you got hurt or something. No big deal. And just practice a lot, and make sure you show the proper amount of respect. Don't be rude, and excel in class. I bet your instructor will like you then.
Are there other TKD schools in your area? Are there other martial arts you might like instead?
If the other students are nice and the instructor doesn't like you or you don't like them then maybe you should look for other options be it another TKD dojang or something different.
I can tell you that every school has it's own feel. But in our style (Uechi Ryu) I've yet to find one that didn't feel like a family. So look around and see what's out there and then get back to training!
Why do you think the Instructor has to "like you?" He is trained to make YOU tough, so he's not going to be easy on you. Four of my children took Taekwondo for years and the Instructor was never "their friend." But, you know what happened with one of my son's at high school? This bully kid took the food off of my son's froemds tray everyday and his ice cream bar, but he NEVER took the food off of my son's tray. One day his friend yelled at the bully "WHY DON'T YOU TAKE HIS FOOD?????" This big kid said "Oh, I heard he goes to Taekwondo and I don't want to @*)#*# with him. My son said "RIGHT, as I'd kick you with this foot." So, that is one reason to stay in Taekwondo. My children then took JUDO, and when my DD was in 8th grade, two different boys tried to touch her and she warned then to keep their hands off of her. Each time she had to throw the kid and put him in an arm bar, and make him say he'd NEVER touch her again. When the other kids heard about it they all laughed and the boys left her alone..
SO, go back to class. Do this for YOU and don't worry anything about any of the kids in the class. ANYTHING you can learn will help YOU, so you don't have to be that good. You will be better than any kid you met who has NOT been in Taekwondo. Does that make sense? The move you keep doing it and the longer you go the better you will get.
I'm 13 years old and I really want to start taekwondo again, i have trained taekwondo for a year and had a yellow belt, but i felt so insecure and never good enough so i quit. I regret it so much, it makes me so sad to not be able to do what i loves the most.
I'm just so afraid to start again, i'm worried about what my taekwondo teacher will say or think.
I'm afraid of what others will think, cause trust me they are not the "nice" kind of people,
I quit taekwondo a year ago, so i still remember most of the things we learned. I just never felt like i was good enough, i felt like my instructor never liked me, thats why i quit and it makes me feel terrible and so sad.
What should i do? Should i start?
If I start what do i say to my instructor?
How do i make my instructor to like me?
