Rank:
1 kyu youth rank
Club function:
I help and train group 1 on Fridays, and I am responsible for the theater group.
How long have you been training?
I began training in 2012, and it was the best choice I’d made in my entire life. I hope to be able to continue training all my life.
The best thing about training?
For me, the best thing about the training is all the fantastic people I’ve met, and still meet to this day. At the club there is a wonderful inclusive culture and being respectful of everyone, which allows you to make wonderful friends of all ages. I can’t think of a group that I have had more fun moments with.
Another thing which should be mentioned is the feeling of being powerful in training. In the outside world, we often see people who are powerful in an unpleasant and aggressive way, with the aim of being “the strongest.” It’s, so to speak, not so nice. At the dojo, on the other hand, we are powerful together, in a respectful way.
Of course, being a leader, and meeting the children on Fridays, is the highlight of the week. Being a role model for someone is a wonderful feeling that everyone should experience.
Misc:
I am in the theater group, and responsible for us meeting and planning. I have also taken Riai’s young leadership course, a sports injury course, a film course and a physical literature course on Bosön.
