Karate has given me the confidence in knowing that I can achieve anything I put my mind to with hard work.  I love martial arts so much that I decided to join a martial arts club at my college, and right away I was asked to teach classes.  Taking karate has taught me so many important things.  I have learned how to fight and defend myself.  I have learned how to be a leader by teaching classes, and discipline which i use to help me succeed in every aspect of my life.  Without martial arts i wouldn"t be the person I am today.
