Re: A Poll For KOJF.

No problem at all. I believe there can be ENDLESS reasons to study
karate, or in your position, Teach karate. Its just nice to see
the "statistics" on why people study karate.

There are complete benefits from karate one can receive. While
gaining physical fitness, stamina, alertness, balance, etc, as well
as discipline and character, one can benefit by having mental
clarity and satisfaction.

Even after 10 hour work day, checking the mail to find piles of
bills, and other daily life issues, i enter the dojo and forget
about everything. It allows my bodys chemicals to relax, and my
emotions to fade away. I think anyone practicing karate will easily
find the benefits of karate such as physical fitness, etc. But those
who truely have a passion for karate are the ones that empty out
their days problems while focusing and meditating on karate.

But, what do i know, these are just MY opinions.
I am proud, and yet humble, to be a student of Sensei Holley, and
his dojo. I find nothing more rewarding than entering the dojo and
being at peace with myself.

Thanks!
Geoff Hill

I personally chose mental clarity because I am a student of Martial Philosophy as well and therefore Martial Arts is a physical expression of a deeper ideal...
