    Karate, a Journey Between a 1st to 2nd Degree Black Belt

    It has been a very long journey between now and the beginning of my journey as a 1st Dan Black Belt. To start off, I would like to thank Head Master Wayne Steinmetz, Master Frank Mueller, Master Tina Curtis and all of the other Black Belts in The McHenry Flying Dragons for giving me this opportunity to continue on and achieve my goal to becoming a Black Belt. As my journey went on, I have realized that I have changed a lot just from becoming a Black Belt instead of a colored belt because when a Black Belt comes into play they wake up to the fact that they can be a role model as they grow into Kyuki-Do more and more. I, on the other hand, have experienced that feeling; my mom has been working at a school for 17 years being an aide and finally a green stripe from our school she said, “Hey, Easton, guess what? There was a little boy named Danny and he was practicing his form during recess today.” She also said, “I asked him, who you learned that from?” The little boy said, “A Black Belt from my school, his name was Easton.” When my mom told me that story it made me feel so happy inside because there was a lower belt looking up to me, as if I was his role model.…

Hasselstrom wanted a more aggressive approach to self-defense. She did not feel the above mentioned methods of self-defense were sufficient. Ms. Hasselstrom explored various self-defense options before she reluctantly made a decision to carry a pistol.…

MMA is the essence of many various martial arts. These forms of martial arts come from all over the globe. A majority of these forms of fighting were closely guarded secrets and kept hidden from the rest of the world. In a MMA fight viewers will see the athletes practice Muay Thai from Thailand, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu from Brazil, Judo from Japan, Wrestling from America, and many other martial arts. Now, what MMA does is take out unneeded movements and focuses on technique, to make a much more effective way of disabling the fighter’s opponent. Mixed martial arts are important because it introduces people to different cultures. MMA reveals a raw but simple truth that one way does not work. People must unit, and learn from each other and create something that is extraordinary.
