Karate

Karate has been listed as many different things such as a waste of time, used for attacking when in a fight and many other different negative comments. Well that is totally wrong because the principals of Karate are Self-Defense, a sport and a way of life as it can help you overcome any obstacle that blocks your way. A quote that really is inspiration for life is "How you do anything is how you do everything" which implements that if you are always positive in one aspect of life it will be illuminated in all aspects of your life. The way people think that Karate is a waste of time because they think all we do is just repeat thinks over and over again and don't do anything else.

Karate has really helped me improve all aspects of my life by being positive about anything that tries to put me down, has made me focus in all arrays that need concentration and has also helped me stay aware of everything around me. When talking about being aware of my surrounds in Karate we use the term Zanshin and this term is very helpful for when working and studying as it will help with knowing how to study or work in an environment that is very busy and you have to focus. With the amount of good Karate has brought me I never think back to how my life could have been if I hadn't started it. The fact that is Karate has helped so many people in the world and I know it has helped so many of my friends lift themselves up and continued with their life.
