Martial arts motivation

[Gail Cribbs]

One of the things I love about Martial Arts is the fact that it can be personalized to meet your individual needs.

For some the motivation is spending family time, by participating in family class.

For some it is focus and discipline, for others it is just a good workout.

For many, the motivation changes as time and life happen.

When I first started my motivation was spending time with my grand-daughter.

Since the time i started my brother has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), this is a condition that affects the muscles, as the disease progresses muscle tone and strength is lost.

This has become my motivation for martial arts, keep working on my balance, keep muscle strength and tone. While there are differing thoughts on the causes of MS I want to keep my muscles in the best possible condition, in the unlikely event that I were ever diagnosed with a condition like MS.

Because of this my black belt project will be related to MS - part of this is to volunteer at an upcoming MS Walk ( walk as for many MS patients this is a freedom that they lose as many end up in wheelchairs).

Stay tuned for additional details, a link to the MS site below contains more information around MS and the upcoming walk.
