recipients of the AAU Karate Scholarship and thinking how cool it would be to walk up ten years later and receive the same award. After highschool, I plan on furthering my education and softball career at Mount St. Joseph University. I plan on going to college to become a Nurse Anesthetist, while continuing to compete in the AAU Karate Program and achieve my all time goal of going to the Olympics. The $1000 would help these dreams become one step closer to reality. Karate for me is more than…

issue. However, it is easier to struggle with time management in school and still pass than it is in karate. With each test I take, I know in my mind that I do not want to stand before the judges and have them watch me struggle. An easy way to prove that I have spent my time well is by making the best out of the terminology portion of the test, which is sadly one of the subjects I see most karate students struggling in. Not only do they fail in preparing their terminology, but they did not put…

For many, 1984’s ‘Karate Kid’ was an engrossing smash-hit, packed with action and comedy that seized the audience. After 26 long years of anticipation, the fanatics’ prayers have been answered: ‘Karate Kid’ is back. However, the film takes on a twist, changing karate to kung fu. Directed by Harald Zwart, the film stars a new Daniel Larusso and Mr Miyagi, who have a new “wax on, wax off” to offer.

hated Pencey so much that he barely tried, resulting in him having to leave the school. Similar things happen to everyone because life has lots of unpredictable obstacles that cause you to alter what you’re doing. For example, I had to end up quitting karate when I was younger, which was hard because I enjoyed it. On a normal Tuesday, my 10 year old self would usually be lounging in my living room, enjoying a nice session of cartoon watching. However, this was not the case today. Our car pulls…

I remember the first time I stepped into the dojo, I was a ten year old girl who had no prior knowledge of self defense or fighting techniques. My karate gi, or karate uniform, was wrinkle free and was white just like my mind’s innocence. The white color symbolized a blank canvas that I was prepared to draw on to create my own piece of art; my own masterpiece. As I opened the door, a wave of air slapped my face.
