Embrace The New

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Embrace that which is new and different. It is my experience in life, as well as in Karate, that people are often afraid or intimidated by new ideas or experiences. One can not learn without the exposure to and the embracing of new ideas. Whether it is a new culture, new kata, a new technique, or a difficult workout, we must accept intimidating things and take them in as a learning experience.
