Social event for the members af the team
After each class we sit and talk for a while so this is how my ideea came to a fact. To give everybody a chance to stay and talk without being rushed by the late hour of the evening. So we meet in a total different environament than class. We had a party that gave everybody the chance to make friends ask guestions and watch themselves perform on a video tape. Hope you guys have fun and you had a chance to know your team members better and better integrate in the team. Thank you for joining me.

Need to reduce stress.Try Karate!!!

Article published in may 14 of 2009.Thank you to my friend and colegue Wendy Spencer for publishing my article.

Post
Need to Reduce Stress? Try Karate!
May 14, 2009 by Wendy.


Divorce is one of the most stressful of all life events. Stress can create insomnia, illness, and often impedes objective and critical thinking. Having one or more of the stress-related issues is not conducive to decision-making, especially when these decisions can impact the rest of your life.



I asked a colleague of mine to comment about the use of exercise to reduce stress. Marta Burns, who teaches classes in karate, told me: “It all started when a good friend of mine and well- known counselor in Denver (Bernadine Merker), called me up and said she would like me to work with people that she counseled. I asked myself “Why?” I then realized there are many benefits my karate class offers and that I could give a new meaning to my work and teaching – that is helping others in need. The confidence in my body and mind, is, in fact a skill set that I can teach to others.”



People say a divorce can be one very traumatic and scarring experience in life. A divorcing person is now facing the world alone, rejected by the one person they could always trust. Regaining ones’ confidence of mind and body is an essential part of the recovery process.



Marta further told me about the many benefits of a karate class. “Karate is designed to teach individuals a variety of techniques that allow them to protect and defend themselves. It is a great feeling of empowerment to know you are able to defend your self and think on your feet. This is not the only benefit that karate offers. For example:



1) Karate drills and exercises structure can result in a great release of anger and stress. Much like when you were a child and punching your pillow made you feel better, in the

same way karate shield drills and other stamina exercises let you feel calm, peaceful and more centered.

2) Another benefit that comes with practice is more physical capabilities and a better look and feel to your body. A strong self-image always projects into others aspects of life.

3) Karate practice redirects your thinking towards new goals: confidence, health, physical abilities, meantime giving you the confidence of a new family and loyal friends as you

train with others like you in class.

4) Karate uses physical exercise and training to instill confidence and calm while at the same time providing the feeling of insulation and supportive family structure thru the Karate

class.”
