My favorite sport is Mixed Martial Arts. For as long as I can remember both Boxing and UFC has fascinated and inspired me. It’s not an easy sport, you have to be dedicated and be willing to get hit. Other than that I love the intensity, and being able to hit somebody for sport. But again MMA is not for everyone. In MMA you have to be willing to take pain as well as you can deliver it. You have to be dedicated to the daily exercise routines, and strict diet plans. I was dedicated since day one of training, and I stuck with it for almost three years. When I got to sparing part of MMA, my love for the sport grew immensely. The intensity of myself and my sparring partner was fierce. Neither of us backed down from the other. The never give up,

Brian Arnold is the only American ever to beat stage 3 of Mt. Midoriyama, however he did not win the million dollars you would normally win if beating stage 3, because he did not complete it during the regular season, he completed it in the competition, Team USA vs The World, to tie the USA with Team Europe.

Throughout my years of taekwondo we always would talk about the three areas of a black belt champion, and now I feel like I fully understand what that means. I always try to do my best no matter where I am. At taekwondo, I always try my hardest and put in as much effort as I can. I take my training much more seriously then I did maybe five or six years ago. I put in as much effort as I can when it comes to practicing at home, training in class, or even when I'm doing leadership every Saturday.

I quickly finished tying my shoe and hopped onto my purple mountain bike and we were off. Logan my brother who I love sometimes,Cassie My best friend, Easton Cassie’s brother,Sawyer Cassie’s brother, Mr. Wychers and I were going to ride our bikes through a trail off in the woods and go to Whistle stop and then cut through town and head to Houseman's. The sky was cloudy and the daylight was being blocked by a thick dark cloud, which looked a lot like a rain cloud. We started to cut through a dead cornfield, lifeless tall brown and crusty plants sat in a single spot and as the soft wind blew the once luscious herbs. I felt the dead greens slap me in the leg and burrs got stuck to my pant leg.

Wearing a black belt does not mean I am invincible, it means that I never gave up, I worked pass the pain, I overcame the disappointments, I did not cave into my doubts, and I faced my fears.

But boxing can teach valuable lessons and knowing our own limitations. Boxers have many experiences from the very beginning of their life story, from their first boxing match to their last match. People have tried boxing, they either want an emotion to control or to learn to defend themselves or for others. “The fights teach many such lessons – about virtues and limits of craft, about the need to impart meaning to hard facts by enfolding them in stories and spectacle, about getting hurt and getting old, about distance and intimacy, teaching and learning of knowledge with consequences.” “To be successful in the ring you have to get control of your emotions – that includes anger.

Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.

The coach called me to the gym with one other girl. We had to do kicks, leaps, and turns for the technique part.
