This is THE reason I’ve been in the software industry all my life!
A Commodore 128 bought for me by my father in 1980s. Learnt Basic on it in addition of many hours of “International Karate” 😂
It is crazy how one thing at a young age can influence your career so much…. 🤯
How to build confidence – it’s the age-old question. In this day and age, we are so quick to compare ourselves to anyone, anywhere. It’s easy to not feel worthy in your relationships, your work, or any area of your life; but it’s not true. If you’re struggling with confidence, self-esteem, and understanding just how awesome you really are, check out these 5 ways that an adult Karate class can help build confidence in you from the inside out.

*The art of fighting without fighting*
A throwback video that Google's memory feed algorithm pushed up the other day (Delhi, circa 2013).
I walked into my father's dojo as a three year old in the early 1980s, and, the art has shaped me in more ways than I could articulate. Well, I should try to articulate. After all, my verbal expression -- through the written and spoken word which earns me a living, reputation and satiates my creative urges and philosophical yearnings now -- drew its initial essence from the first form of expression I learnt: the physical manifestation of emotion and intent through karate. Wrestling, came much later, you see.
Learning to kick, punch and defend -- the obvious and apparent skills -- are something I have seldom used outside the dojo, tatami or the ring, barring a few necessary interventions. The intriguing bit is that the most important wisdom karate gave me was the art of fighting without fighting. More on that later; in a piece, perhaps. Soon!

Let's take a journey back to when I started learning American Kenpo Karate 17 years ago. As a beginner, I was fascinated and puzzled by the techniques. It was like encountering a completely new language - both physical and mental. At this initial stage of learning, I had NO IDEA about the intricacies of the art. Similarly, every learner begins as a "white belt," with little to no knowledge of the subject matter.
