"I think the karate training at Ohio Budokan Dojo is fun, and with the skills I learned I think that I can now better protect my friends and my older sister from bullies. Going to Karate training is a good workout on Saturday morning when I'd otherwise be sleeping in, or watching TV, and with all the years of training I got at the dojo, my parents think that I have accomplished more than my other school friends. I have also made new friends at the dojo and I feel more confident in my abilities and chances of succeeding at other things. I think that the only other way to experience the Japanese culture and language would be to go live in Japan. For now though I'm happy to train at Ohio Budokan." |
