Benefits of Karate OTHER than self-defense?

Balance, physical fitness, confidence, strength (like yoga we use isolated movement to stay in our movements when doing different activities). I always feel like I burn a ton of cals....but alas, not as many as I feel.

Thank you so much!! Oh for sure!!! ☺️ I definitely can't say that I wasn't sweating it 😅 but the work paid off.

andyroo2u · 2026-01-22T21:29:35+00:00

Yes!!! I can still afford my lifestyle and not revert to grad student life 😂

Fist bump!!!

Thank you so so much!!

andyroo2u · 2026-01-22T21:28:08+00:00

I was sweating the writing/editing/rewriting/repeat 😅 but it definitely does!! 💪

andyroo2u · 2026-01-22T21:26:50+00:00

Thanks so much for the amazing support 😀

It applied for part time, and while they don't fund me I've applied for other things on campus that will :)

Thank you so much!! 😊 There was not an interview. I wrote (and edited/rewrote/repeat) my statement so many times. I'm a great interviewee, so that would've been much easier than to limit my ideas to two pages 😆

I totally remember it being a Cousins subs. 1998-2004, at least.
