The sequence of movement like a dance

Your body one with the form

You become stronger in your stance

Every day to become the norm

 

 

 

With every blow you hold with blocking

The force you feel and resist

Your power is felt in your kicking

The breaking boards no longer in one piece exist

 

 

 

Weapons are now your hands and feet

Use them wisely and with confidence

You will not let yourself defeat

You have mastered self defense

 

Focus is gained

Control attained

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
