Before i started my martial arts, to be honest, i was controlling, aggressive, not afraid to hit someone

I understand where you’re coming from mate. I was the same, I was very aggressive because in general I was frustrated with life, I had nothing to aim for, I had problems at school, at home etc. I won't go into details...
I'm a musician so that did help me a lot because as a teenager I could vent my emotions through playing, but I still needed something else... As I grew older I decided that I wanted to find a MA and commit to it. I found a club with Aikido and began training.
By this time I had actually calmed down a lot but looking back I can see little discipline issue's with taking commands, and thinking I could already do something when I obviously couldn't, I had my ego.
Now my ego is calmed, my mind body is calmed; it’s helped my musical flow as well as my harmony with life. I have found deeper insights into bigger more important things in life.

MA and my music helped me realise that humans can achieve much more potential. We can live in better harmony and I feel that people need something in their lives. We are lucky enough to have found MA and this has given us purpose. I feel sorry for our fellow humans that have not found anything apart from pop music, make-up, drinking, football etc. I'm not saying those things are bad, it’s just running peoples lives. They do not have control of themselves; MA gives us this control...

I love it!!!!
