Nidan
“I joined karate for very simple reasons, to get exercise and to learn how to protect myself. When I was younger I would get bullied a lot. People would make rude comments and tell me that I am not important, well I have always wanted to learn how to protect myself and do the cool flashy moves that you would see on TV. and well I still can not do a front flip and toss my bo up in the air, karate has taught me so much more than just punching and kicking. It has taught me how to control my temper and to be confident in the thing that I believe to be true.” – Gabe Curtis
