Women in karate.. Feel the benefits

Above all women need to encourage each other through their KARATE journey because it is uniquely different from a man’s journey. We don’t all have rock hard abs or kicks that go straight to the sky. We are everyday women who are confident, strong, and empowered due to martial arts. KARATE give me ways to cope, defend, persevere, understand, learn and grow in all categories of my life. Women share the same experiences in martial arts as they do in life, and that is why their dependence on each other for motivation and encouragement is so important.
