What Karate
does for me - How Karate benefits me.
Karate makes
me physically fit, keeps me physically healthy and helps me become (mentally)
healthy and strong.
Karate helps me mentally by improving my concentration and confidence. I am more disciplined and focused in everything that I do, both at school and at home.

Karate teaches me about responsibility, self-respect
and courage to do the right thing in all aspects of life and behave in a manner
that shows respect for others around me.
I have learned to defend myself when necessary but
more importantly I have learned to have patience, self-control and calmness.
It also gave me the intelligence to avoid
confrontation and be able to walk away from harmful situations whenever
possible.
I have self confidence in all that I do because of
karate training, allowing me to be flexible, have strength and balance, plus
the offensive and defensive self-defence techniques that I learned so far,
makes me feel safer in any situation that may arise.
“I feel less shy and more confident.
I was quite shy before I started karate, thanks to
training and the philosophy of Karate I have (improved my fighting spirit) and
I realize that can‘t hide in a corner. That I don‘t have to be afraid of
showing my presence and state my ideas in any situation.”
Karate teaches me to have positive thoughts and
attitudes, gain lots of virtues like respect, kindness, courtesy, patience,
humility and courage.
It helped me improve my behaviour and I noticed that
it also helps children who have learning difficulties.
Karate taught me to respect not only to my Sensei, but
the other students and also everyone at home and at school.
As I grow up, I believe that my character will be
influenced by Karate ideology which is all about reaching mental and physical
perfection.
All the above and much more is why I believe that
Karate benefits me.
