Paint Those Eggs With Positivity!
This weekly post highlights positivity in the martial arts from around the world. Unfortunately, it is far too easy to find negative stories on the internet. Positive ones, however, are harder to find. Let’s recognize and celebrate those martial artists and schools who are doing good things in their communities, as well as, making great accomplishments.

Going to college can be an exciting time and experience for a young adult. Besides the various classes, many colleges have a sense of community, of being part of a bigger whole. This is partially achieved through participation in events and clubs. We as martial artists can leave a positive and lasting impact on our colleges, though. If your college does not have a martial arts club, then I challenge you to start one. In this article, the students in question did exactly that! Read on to see what they were able to start.

Women who have experienced violence typically experience it differently than a man would. Educating women on methods for protecting themselves just makes good sense. This is why it is easy to see many martial arts schools offer self-defense seminars specifically for women. But how many have committed to it as an integral part of what they do in their communities? Here we have a local news video interview I found with a martial artist I personally know, but did not know about this. Grandmaster Nick Chamberlain, I salute and commend you and your instructors for your commitment to women’s self-defense in your community!

The martial arts is a great avenue for self-improvement. Many of us have had our lives changed because of the martial arts. I also know people with disabilities who have been able to thrive because of their time in the martial arts and the inclusive environment they found there. Here we have an article about a martial artist who has made it his goal to help those with disabilities find a place where they can grow!
Miami, Florida, USA
Dealing with setbacks is a natural part of life. These setbacks can be devastating and demoralizing to an individual. Training in the martial arts can be very helpful in teaching a person how to not only deal with setbacks but to overcome them as well. Here we have an article about a young woman who experienced a devastating setback that could have taken so much away from her physically and emotionally. Yet she credits her time in the martial arts for her ability to overcome and persevere!
Let’s start a discussion! Did any of these articles have an effect on you? Did they change the way you viewed a particular topic? Don’t be shy! Feel free to sound off!
