I have been doing martial arts for the past 15 years of my life, and it has been a great journey. Martial arts has made me physically healthier, more confident and it has given me motivation to achieve in my life.
Martial arts pushes you to extreme limits as you are constantly fighting against your own weaknesses. It is a shame that I do not see more Somalis partaking in martial arts seriously and with passion.
Maybe it can help focus a lot of these young men who find themselves lost and without guidance in life. It can be an alternative to gang and street violence as contrary to ignorant belief, martial arts actually makes people less violent and mature in their behaviour.
