Why Karate??


Kicking, punching and yelling?  Yes, and also focus, body control, discipline.  I started studying karate about five years ago for exercise and the art of it, at a very traditional school.  Seeing me practice inspired our younger daughter, who was then nine, to join also.  Now we're both black belts (just tested this past year) and I have to say it has been a great thing and a calming thing for us both.  If you're interested, check out the video I made there in the column on the right.
