Have you ever walked across a dark, lonely, deserted street or parking lot and for one reason or another felt scared because you thought you were going to be mugged ? If you've answered "yes" to this question, don't feel ashamed because you're in the great majority. I asked myself this same question about seven years ago and bravely decided to do something about the problem before it controlled me. I learned to control my fear and become more self-confident through the martial arts. . . . I have now earned my orange belt in Kenpo and my green belt in Shorin-Ryu. Looking back over the past seven years, I realize that I have learned much more than I had first wanted to. The philosophies of the martial arts can be used for much more than self-defense. To sum it all up, let me recall the words of my master, Eddie Parker: "I come to you with only karate, empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles, or my honor, then here are my weapons: karate, my empty hands."
