“I saw a friend in my village getting bullied by three other kids. I wasn’t big and strong yet. I told them to stop, but that didn’t go very well. From that moment, I wanted to learn karate. My brother taught me a few moves. He has been learning karate for the past five years, and he’s my inspiration. I can imagine myself wearing that white uniform, practicing karate moves early every morning, earning different levels of belts, and eventually getting my black belt. But I would never use karate to pick a fight with others. I’ll only use it only for self-defense and to stand up against bullies.”
