"I would start by saying that my motivation for karate has evolved greatly from my first class until now. At one point I wanted to learn self defense, gain rank, and become more fit. However, that changed several years ago. Primarily, I think of karate as an excellent form of active meditation in which by participating and putting all my effort into it, I hope to become a better person to everyone. Not just friends and family, but everyone. I am inspired by many of the great teachers in Seibukan, not just because of their tremendous technique but because they have impeccable character."
