Some people do things just because they love them. It's really not important to make a lot of money or become famous if you are doing something you enjoy. We enjoy running a small karate club, and the students there seem to enjoy being part of it. They come for various reasons. Some come for the exercise, some for the discipline and others come for the social aspects. Of course, there are some who become dedicated martial artists, who dream of someday becoming Black Belts themselves.
Friday, December 14, two long time members, David Valcour (57) and David Burns (66), were promoted to Sho-dan (first degree Black Belt). That makes a total of 14 Black Belts for this club, promoted under Chief Instructor, Sensei Ron Wattie. (centre)
Merrickville Karate Club will soon be 29 years old, and has had a waiting list for well over 20 years. People have traveled from as far away as Nepean to take classes as they say they like the family atmosphere. It is, indeed, a family club, with both children and parents attending the same classes together. There have been as many as 5 members from the same family enrolled in this club, and that's possible because of the club does everything it can to keep the rates as low as possible, and had family rates for 3 or more from any one family unit. If everyone on the Spring session waiting list turns up for class this coming February, there is already no room for more, and the September list has already been established.
Maybe you would like to do something you love too. Nobody says you have to be the very best at what you choose to do, but until you try, you just never know how much success you will have, or if that even matters. Maybe you'll just love the experience.
