It wasn't long before I realized that I didn't really want to hurt someone, I just wanted the abused(sexual and physical) that was occurring in my life to end. I have gone on and earned my black belt in two different styles and am working toward a third in yet another style. I believe that Martial arts is a way of life, that teaches all of the importance of learning who we are and what we truly want in life.
