enter as many AAU sanctioned tournaments (and win) as you possibly can, contact the United States Karate Association for information.  Hard work is number one.

To leap to a conclusion like that, you must be an incredible athlete.  You should try out for the Olympic conclusion-jumping team.

Ask the teams in your area if they hold try outs. If they do, go to one of them and if you are any good, they'll sig you up.That is the way it is in my part of the world.

To become a winter olympic gold medalist you will need a lot of hard work especially if you are from a country with no snow.  Good luck

Start by getting involved in a local gold glove gym or something similar so you can box competitively.  If you get established and keep winning, you will get noticed, and will have a chance to go to olympic trials.

Anything is possible, and a lot depends on the draw.\n\nHowever, it is unlikely because the USA are a long way from being in the top 8 international teams, and will probably struggle to qualify from their group.

Train by yourself to perfect your techniques.\nDon’t do anything in your technique your instructor hasn’t required of you.\n\n Martial arts development, especially in taekwondo is about character, so take this as a good lesson in patience.\n\n I dont know what academy you are with, or even if it is an ITF or WTF class, but perhaps if it is one with several different classes or teachers you could attend at a different time or class.\n\n I would not recommend you stay down an extra term, but I think you will find, that as it is early days yet in taekwondo for you, they may well leave soon, as the training gets harder they will be less willing to continue if they do not have the necessary character traits.\n\n If you have a large class you could perhaps have a quiet word with your instructor after class, as there are three of you and the first blue grading drills are all in pairs, he or she may be able to ensure you are always partnered with a senior student instead.\n It would definitely be of benefit to your martial arts for you to ask for this anyway.\n Especially if you are showing natural aptitude it is almost essential you are paired with a student who has a greater or comparable ability, you will learn very little sparring with someone who doesn’t challenge you at all.\n Equally, sparring with someone who is unskilled and or overagressive -(im sure you know the type) is a bad idea, it will be a waste of time for you and could result in you damaging a joint, finger, ligament or getting useless bruises.\n \nIf there are three of you and you are doing well in competition i would definitely have a word with your instructor about the pairing for your drills, it is such a simple thing and so easily fixed without dramas.

You're from the US right?\nFirst of all start playing and practicing a lot because you have a disadvantage as most well-reknown players start at a relatively young age and don't stop from there.\nThen get in a team, tryout in everything you can. You can also try to get into scolarships programs if you're good enough (a friend of mine got one and is being considered to play with the US team now).\n\nI know I'm not of much help as I think that the US has got a different screening process for their players, but I'm pretty sure you need to be in a team and show what you can do.\n\nBest of luck!

You may be able to find classes at your local karate/taekwondo school. I know we have classes offered at our local taekwondo school. Just call around to your martial arts schools.\nGood luck!

If you're in the military you can use the military website and your own ID/Password hoo'ah. If not, you can contact the nearest recruiter in your friends branch of service and ask them to help you out. But they might want to sign you up when you go to visit hoo'ah.

1. Learn as much as you can from a good coach before you leave him/her. Put the lessons down to paper or on video for review.\n2. Practice every day, even if you don't have a lot of time. Stretch, stretch, and stretch.\n3. Join a gym with boxing studios or buy and install a heavy bag. Use it.\n4. Find a sparring partner. Better yet, find several sparring partnets. Kick and punch as much as you can every chance you get. Do wear protective gear.\n5. Books are all about theory. If you don't know how you can improve your taekwondo without a coach, then you don't need a book just yet. Work on the basics instead. A good foundation will get you very far.

I'm not totally sure but i think you can go to like NBC.com or whatever the channel your Olympics are on and order whatever Olympic's related gear you want.

First of all u should talk to one of the players in the team and ask them how the tryouts were and how physically fit do u really need to be. Then u should really build up your stamina and start working out. Also, work on the things that one of the players said u need to tryout.
