Introduction
Tae Kwon Do is a very good sport. Tae kwon do is also a very good defence incase if someone attacks you or stikes. You will have no problem defending for yourself. You can do it alone or even with your family. For all ages Tae Kwon Do is a good way to exercise and to loose weight. There are various styles depending on where you come from. Some dojangs or schools make up their own way of practicing but it still is correct.

History of Tae Kwon Do
Tae means strike with the hand or fist, Kwon means to kick or stike with the foot, and Do means the way of life. Tae kwon do originated in 50BC. Back then Korea was split into three parts: Koguryo, Silla, and Baekjae. Each practiced their own way. Then later on in history Japanese pirates attacked Korea and took over from there. There was no practicing tae kwon do. The people could only learn Japanese martial arts. The Koreans did not give up. At night or when the Japanese soldiers were not paying attention they would go and practice secretly in the woods. After a bit more in the future, the Koreans fought back and gained back their land. By then Koreans were free to practice Tae Kwon Do. Then Tae Kwon Do was used in military training. All the soldiers could fight with the skill. Now tae kwon do was getting more and more popular. Finally during the year 2000 the debate on whether to include tae kwon do in the Olympics was settled. They decided yes. It would be included in the Olympics. Today Tae Kwon Do is practiced throughout the world. People young and old are still practicing.

Sparring
Sparring is another part of Tae Kwon Do. It is the part where you get to fight another in a match. The rules are simple. Each opponent must wear a helmet, leg guards, elbow guards, a chest guard, and a cup. If you are younger than the age of 14 then you must not kick your opponent in the head. If you are older than the age of 14 then head contact is allowed. Your goal is to kick your opponent on the chest guard as much as you can. Each kick will be one point. If you are an adult if you kick the head it will be 2 points. Each round will last for 1 minute, 1 minute 30 seconds, or 2 minutes. The only reason the round would end earlier would be if     1. One player got knocked out 2. One player is not able to fight anymore 3. One player is winning by at least 7 points Sparring is a big part of Tae Kwon Do

Forms and Kicking
Tae Kwon Do practices a lot of forms and kicking. Forms are a set of kicks or punches or blocks in a certain order. You must do them in the correct order or else it will be wrong. There are a lot of kicks too. Some are the roundhouse kick, spinning roundhouse kick, axe kick, front snap kick, side kick, flying side kick, and much more. Tae kwon do trains on mostly the foot so mostly everything is kicks.

Introduction
This essay is about cloning. Cloning will affect the people and food. I think cloning is very bad and good. I hope people will think my essay is correct and feel the same way as me about cloning.

Human Cloning
Cloning will affect the people because for example: if a person’s mother died and he/she wants to clone the dead mother the clone would not act the same, or would not be the same age. The clone would not act the same only if the original mother got forced into liking something. If the original mother lived around music she would like music. If the clone did not live around music the clone would not like music and like something else. If the original mother liked music when she was born liking music and did not live around music but still likes music the clone would also like music. It would make the person sad if the clone did not like what the original liked because they would probably not have as much fun as the person did with the original mother. The clone would not be the same age because the clone has to start at the beginning of the original’s life. The person would be older than the clone. Cloning is also bad because people would loose their uniqueness because imagine walking down the road and seeing a clone of yourself. People would wonder which one is the clone and which one is the original. The population would grow too. The more clones there are the more people there are. The good side to all of this is that you can clone something and play with it, for example if you wanted a little brother you can clone yourself or another boy to make a baby again. Or if you want to see what you looked like as a child or your behaviors as a child then you can clone yourself and then see for yourself.

Food Cloning
Cloning will affect the food too because you don’t know if the clone food has any chemical in it that is poisonous. After eating you might get a disease or get sick. You never know. It might taste different. The clone food could be poisonous and kill people that eat it. It might have something in it that affects the teeth, throat, or any other parts of the body. Think about it if there was an original corn on a cob on one table and a cloned corn on a cob which one would you pick? I would pick the original because you don’t know what can happen to you if you eat the cloned corn on a cob. The good side to this is because if you clone food you can never run out of food supplies. The military would need it a lot so that their soldiers would not starve to death. That is why cloning can affect food.

I think cloning is very good and bad. It will be the same either way people will suffer and there will be benefits.
