Em MacIntosh
3rd Black Belt
Complained to my mom I was getting picked on in elementary. She put me in karate. It was better than piano lessons. I become more and more interested in the science/mechanics and less and less interested in the philosophy/history. Nowadays my attendance is sporadic at best but I go at least once a week to savate and train on my own for the rest of the time. My motivation now is to get a better understanding of the pyschology and physics of self-defense as well as to build my strength and speed.
