It sounds great however where it says "I do Budou since I'm 13 years old", I would change that to "I've done Budou since I was 13 years old"

It is probably too long, especially for someone at your level in life. You do not use pronouns/sentences in resumes. Yo have a lot of these and they all need to be changed. (NO: "I watched...) you use the third person -Really really cut back interests. No one is going to care what books you read or what you watch on the web. Your grammar & word choice is not quite right for english speaking, but your resume is too long to correct. Is there someone where you live who can help you with this?
