Barack Obama did Taekwondo?

in obama •  8 years ago 

Did you know that Barack Obama was a student of Taekwondo for several years.

In 2009 when Obama visited South Korea for the first time as president, he was awarded an honorary Black Belt. Research a little more and you will find that he actually practiced Taekwondo from 2001 until 2004 and earned a green belt but some sites claim he went all the way to blue belt.

South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak personally chose the gift in recognition of Obama's past interest in the Korean martial art, as reported on the World Taekwondo Federation website.
