    Karate Wisdom for Everyday Battles

    Best quote from Karate Wisdom for Everyday Battles

    “

    Karate discipline is actually about freedom; it is the choice to embrace the 'hard' of maintaining good habits and building skills rather than the 'hard' of dealing with the consequences of not having them.

    ”
