I started karate about four years ago. Since then I have worked very hard and go to class four times a week to improve my skills in all areas. Today I am a purple belt, (which is the just two belts before black belt) and I have obligations to fulfill whilst being one. Karate acts on my everyday life, not only in the dojo but also outside. I learned not to get into fights, I learned how to treat my superiors and above all I gained a significant amount of discipline in my life. Just two days ago I was walking to my karate class and a girl who had done shopping accidentally dropped about eighty reais and didn’t notice. No one saw anything and she continued walking about twenty meters in front of me. I picked up the money and ran to give it back to her. I don’t know if I would or not have done it if I did not have karate values and meditations in my life, yet I gave it back and felt great for doing so.

I know that karate requires a lot of discipline, but I never really think about the meditation and values that it teaches.
