A 4-year-old girl’s adorable tantrum during a taekwondo class has gone viral, with netizens joking that even a black belt can’t handle a stubborn child.
The video, shared by taekwondo club coach Faezah on TikTok, shows a male instructor trying to persuade the young girl to join the class.
However, the girl turns her back on him with her arms crossed, refusing to participate. Despite the coach’s efforts to face her forward, she stubbornly turns away again.
Regular coach didn’t show up
Speaking to Sinar Harian, Faezah explained that the child’s tantrum was due to the absence of her regular coach.
The regular coach couldn’t come due to a family matter, so I arranged for another instructor to replace him,” Faezah said.
“She’s used to learning from the same coach, so she wasn’t happy with someone new.”
Faezah revealed that the girl refused to join the entire class and continued sulking.
The young girl, who enrolled in the class two months ago, is still adjusting to new faces.
Assistant coach is a teacher
Faezah added that his assistant coach, who was leading the session, also teaches at a primary school in Batu Pahat, Johor.
The child’s mother had previously shared that her daughter takes time to get comfortable with new people.
If she’s not familiar with someone, she won’t want to attend the class,” Faezah said.
“When she first started, she also threw tantrums with the regular coach. But over time, she grew used to him.”
Netizens’ reaction
Netizens flooded the comment section with laughter, calling the girl’s defiance adorable and teasing the coach.
“Listen to what I’m trying to explain first. “Enuffff” 😆”
“Which is harder? Doing taekwondo or comforting a sulking girl? 😂😂😂”
“Even a black belt loses when a girl throws a tantrum 😆”
