I love IKF Karate because: Your Answer: My love for Karate is like life: You have mountains to climb, some higher than others. You have challenges, some more than others. You have goals, some are short-term, and some are long. How you adapt, handle, and face life’s challenges demonstrates the true perfection of one’s character. If you were to ask yourself, in all honesty, “How hard could it be, learning how to punch and kick?” You would assume that there is not much to it. However, the real question is, “How well do I want to be able to punch and kick?” Over the course of time, one begins to question whether it’s really about punching and kicking at all. Suddenly, you see things in a different light. You experience the sweating, the training, the bumps, the bruises, and the frustration of wanting to be just a little bit better. In time, it separates the “like” from the “love”, and the “wannabe’s” from the “I am’s”. Anyone can push himself or herself, as far, and as hard as they want to go. You can be as good as you would like, without limits, or boundaries. Karate and life: they are what you make it. And that is why I love IKF Karate.
