Table Tennis - First Session

           Honestly, I am not a type of person who enjoys sports. Most likely, I actually hate sports that require many movements. However, I felt that I need some kind of exercise in my life, because I could feel fats in my stomach. So, I decided to do a table tennis. Although I have learned it during PE class before, I did not know particular skills in playing table tennis. Fortunately, I had a friend who is expert in playing table tennis, and I started the first session of playing the table tennis.

           I wanted to start from learning how to win the table tennis. However, as my friend saw me playing the table tennis, he said that I need to learn from the very beginning. I learned how to flick the ping-pong ball. 

Although I could only do 5 flicks of ping-pong ball, after few practices, I was able to do a lot, as shown in the video. Then, I learned how to serve the ball. I first learned how to grab the racket properly. I thought I was grabbing the racket in a right way, but I was not. After that, I learned how to serve. I learned that I need to make my ball flick in the other player's spot. Although it seemed easy, it was actually very hard to serve. However, I was able to serve well after practices. 

              After learning few basic skills of table tennis, I realized that table tennis is actually fun exercise. I played it for more than an hour, to win the friend who taught me how to play the table tennis. However, I couldn't. But I believe that after few more sessions, I will be able to be an expert in playing table tennis.
