I grew up an only child... no Dad. Mom who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 20... I was everyone's punching bag. Enrolled in Kenpo-Traco at a young age... I was not ready. Year's later, I found a hole in the wall... Dojo; the one that would change my life.

Though I only went for a short time, Okinawan Shorin-Ryu would become the mindset that I still have to this day. By the time I learned how to defend myself, all those who picked on me, grew to love other things in life. The one thing not being attacking me...

Great story my friend, and thank you for the upvote...
