why do you all train?

[DaveAbramson]

I train to stay in shape, plus I enjoy punching and kicking a target! I enjoy physical activities and karate is right at the top of my list!

[shanny_kimura]

I train because I'm in love with martial arts. I train in 10 different arts 7 times a day. Non stop for the whole day lol. It's also a good way to stay fit, in shape. To respect yourself as well as others. Also for self-Defense. Key word is Defense ! It's self-Defense guys, not self-offence. Use it when called upon. Safe training everyone osssuuu

To get better.

For me, it is all about learning more and more about yourself and your limits: to improve each movement until it is perfect and to look at what scare you and face it

[Nabil Kazama]

To train, to become strong, to be able to pass on my Shotokan teachings to my children (If I have any in future), a sense of achievement, I love my training and also for exercise.

[SolidAir]

I enjoy it

[sensei8]

I love it!!

Seriously, I started when I was 7 yrs old because I was bullied at elementary school everyday.

Now, I train because I love it!!

Alternative of not training is so scary

I need the work out and also to fight dementia - learn new skills and be active.

I do it for self discipline. And to help with stress and health.
