One mighty way to improve yourself - Martial Arts!

[Amy]

When you are looking for ways to improve yourself from the inside out, do you realize how many options you have to choose from?

Some of the common ways to help yourself are:
Books
Seminars
Friends
Therapists
Counselors
Audios
Videos
Movies
Just make new choices
Journal
Write a book
Learn new things
Do something different
Think differently
Meditate
Go to school
Join a philosophy group
Take some martial arts

I would like to discuss the benefits I have had since I have taken a martial arts class. First off I take classes in Jujutsu, the White Tiger Method. I believe everyone, starting from childhood on, should take a course in the martial arts.

These are the things I've learned so far:
Calming of my mind
Discipline
Self control
Emotional control
Easy escapes
The soft easy way of life
Patience
Balance
Flexibility
How to pull everything I already know out of my head
Happiness
Skills
Techniques
Intuition
Awareness
Communication
Listening
Respect
To be agile
To be quick
Toned body
Sharp mind
Clarity
Not to use my ego
Not to expect too much
Not to anticipate

There's probably a whole lot more, however these are the ones coming to my head now. I hope you will look into taking a course or class in the martial arts. If you ever come out to Scottsdale, AZ or if you already live here, please visit where I go at the non-profit organization called The Chi Do Kai Personal Development Center at Chi Do Kai.
