“Karate has always been my passion in life. It was the thing that seperated me from all the other kids.  Most people play sports in school sometimes even through college but then they eventually drop out of it.  Karate can stay with you forever, and the learning never has to stop.  You can discover new things about old principles and even kata that you had not seen before.  The coolest and probably the most frustrating thing about karate is that the more you think you know, the more you realize you dont know. It is an ancient art continually improved by modern science."
