This post is about my presentation last class when I talked about Karate, in special my experiences with this sport.
The aim of Karate is to be in total control of the muscles in your body so that you can use them with force and accuracy.
I started to play Karate when I was ten or eleven years old and when I was living in Macaé.
Bushido was the name of the academy and my master called Gualberto. The Karate I learned is Goju-Ryu, which means the balance of opposites, of antagonistic and complementary energies. Goju-Ryu teaches you how to act: with calm or energy, speed or smoothness. In short, it is a light style similar to Daniel San’s style.
Before Karate I had practiced swimming, football and judo. I started with the white belt, after the exams I went to yellow, then orange and the last was the blue belt.
While I was living in Macaé I participated in some championships and I won medals and certificates.
I stopped at the blue belt when I moved to Rio and I have never practiced this sport since then.
