Karate

When I was young, 8-10, I was really interested in karate. My parents signed me up for some lessons and for a while I really enjoyed learning karate.

I started training when I was about nine years old. I was in gymnastics but I was too old to stay in the class I was in but we couldn't afford the price to get into the class for older kids. My dad wanted me to join kung fu so I could learn to defend myself. Like every parent, he wanted me to be safe in this terrifying world.

I feel like at that point, learning Kata was not a step towards getting my next belt; it was learning kata for the sake of learning it. Rather than extrinsically enjoying learning, which involves enjoying the end goal of an action, it became intrinsic enjoyment, which…

The Past: It's been quite a road to get this achievement. I've been taking karate classes for ten years. Throughout this time period, I've gotten 16 belts, taken 9 tests, taken three different classes for different age levels, and the dojo has changed locations 3 times.
