Yellow Belt
Hey everyone,
I'm approaching having completed my first year in Kenpo (technically our school is a free-style martial arts that centers around Kenpo karate).
When I first joined, I did simply because I needed some cardio in my weightlifting routine and the idea of running like a hamster on a treadmill doesn't really get me excited if you know what I mean.
But over the last year I've really taken on a love for the discipline, and have been heading to sparring tournaments in the Mens Intermediate division hosted by AZMARRS, to which I've won the 3 events I've attended.
In my first year as a martial artist I've learned that my technique is still pretty sloppy, but the power is there and I'm definitely getting faster. But even though I criticize my technique I've noticed a big improvement from my days as a white and yellow belt. I have a pretty wicked defensive side kick!
Tonight I'll be testing and hopefully earning my Blue Belt, and then it will be another 4-5 months of self improvement in what I've found out to become one of my passions in life.
Thank God for the Martial Arts,
