Kristi's involvement with Karate America encouraged her to set and work hard to attain a long term goal. In addition to the skills and attitudes she has learned (and is still learning!), karate has helped her improve her endurance for physical activity. 

Kristi has also learned the importance of doing her best, whether it be as a team member or as an individual. The leadership skills Karate America has helped her develop, in combination with the confidence to speak and perform for an audience, are valuable life skills. 

At Karate America, Kristi has learned that many of life's obstacles can be eliminated or managed - by problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking. And, sometimes, you can have fun along the way!
