FangPwnsAll7 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I've started two years ago because I didn't have any friends in school. Three months later, I transferred school districts and joined a Tang Soo Do dojo. I don't get bullied anymore and I have friends now. I like to think martial arts has made me stronger, but I don't know. I love Tang Soo Do and I will never quit. Tang Soo Do - Red Belt (2nd GUP)

Spartacus Maximus Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Practising karate kept me away from negative influences in my life since I was about 10 years old. Without my involvement in karate I am certain that I would have been I serious trouble. Focussing on karate training and going to my dojo helped me overcome bouts of severe isolation and depression in my teenage years. That is also when karate and martial arts became a part of my life I have never given up to this day.
