Doing martial arts is not always about being able to defend yourself from an outside threat.
Most times it is about find a place to try new things, make mistakes, learn lessons and grow in your resilience.
It is about overcoming our own self doubts, having someone believe in you when you are not able to believe in yourself.
It is about working hard, being disciplined to continue the fight especially when things get hard.

One of my coaches posted this and it is true for me.
During my 2 decades of teaching Taekwondo having helped thousands of people start martial arts I have seen a pattern.
Most people don't fail because they’re incapable.
They fail because they underestimate themselves.
They wait until they’re ready.
They wait until they’re perfect.
They wait until someone gives them permission.
The ones who start and reach the level of black belt are determined.
It’s the one willing to take action while still figuring things out.
Believe in yourself enough to move.
Stay humble enough to learn.
Stay disciplined enough to improve.
Confidence opens the door.
Competence keeps it open.
Action creates confidence.
Do something hard today, earn the confidence and the competence to keep winning.

Are the MARTIAL ARTS for you?🥋
Martial arts are not for everyone. Some people walk into the training hall and they realize it's just not something for them. Then again, others right away take to it and feel a bond instantly.
It's kind of like being your own team where you must perform everything alone as a single player. Yet surrounded by a team there to support and encourage you. Sometimes it is a great experience and sometimes the training and discipline as to keep going is overwhelming.
You also have to touch people and fight people and this can sometimes be intimidating for some. Yet, many really enjoy the reality of it.
So yeah, martial arts is not for everyone. But to those that it is, I hope you have a happy Journey. Because if you like it; it becomes something important in your life.
The virtues are quite nice when you have the right place to train at. They can propel one to living well and with honor and happiness.
