Martial Arts history:
There were a couple of factors of why I started my martial
arts training. The top 3 were to have fun, keep in shape,
and to lean some self defense. I remember my instructor
talking about developing more discipline, coordination,
and self esteem. All I thought was "ya ya whatever."
Well since I've begun my martial arts, the things I've
learned the most about karate is it's a life changing
thing. If you have an open heart and mind, it will help
you become a better person. I have learned how to love
more, how to teach, how to be a better friend, and overall
to be a better person. I've also developed more self
discipline and esteem along with patience which help
me in my everyday life. If I were to tell you things
about martial arts it would be that it's not all about
kicks and punches; it's about a mind set, a way of thinking
(at all times). This in return makes it a life long
learning process.
