Karate - A Positive Note

While Karate may not be what it has been made out to be, this does not mean that it has not, or cannot, be utilized for something better.

I may not have all the answers, but a Student CAN use the framework to find the rest AND learn something not readily addressed on the Dojo Floor.

In this way the answers are always on the floor.

How the Karate student applies themselves, based on their discipline, spells the difference between success and failure.

Whether that be in Self Defense, Shop Class, or a Board Room Meeting, how they apply themselves is everything.

There is carry over in all aspects, despite what anyone says or writes.

Those who are successful in negotiation tend to be pretty aware outside that board room.

Those with training tend to gain confidence and rise as Leaders in their field, despite being the lowest on the proverbial totem pole.

I am a Leader in Security and head the Security Force on a Government Site, I started as an Officer with some pretty strange cases.

I am now sitting in on executive meetings, identifying areas of Security Concern, handling Client Concerns, working towards better Security Practices and identifying problem areas while handling finances for the account.

Anyone can do any of this with the right mindset, but more, with the right foundation.

Foundation is key, but to rise above and put it to work, that is the lock.
