Client Testimonials - Annie Carrett

If anyone had told me four years ago that I would be grading for a Black Belt in martial arts I would have laughed. Not only would I have thought I was too old, but I had not done any form of physical activity since high school.

Watching my children and husband’s involvement in martial arts, I realised there was nothing holding me back except my own fear of the unknown. Taking that first step was the hardest – 4 years later every new challenge is exciting!

ONE Martial Arts, under Sensei Chris' gifted leadership, is truly a life-giving experience. It offers fitness, focus and self-discipline – a lifestyle training that benefits me endlessly in my work and home-life.

Importantly though, ONE Martial Arts teaches the positive value of all humanity - to exist peacefully, respectfully and responsibly in our communities. We train our bodies to better fitness, but we need to supplement that with spiritual training to be strong, positive role-models and to take these values back into the community for a better world.

Martial Arts, and the ONE Martial Arts family, is now a very important part of my life. I hold a full-time executive position and am a mother of two – I lead a very busy life, yet I can no longer imagine my life without martial arts. It refreshes me, it challenges me, and it is something I can share with my family- especially my children as they grow into wonderful human beings. All things are possible.

When you can't wait for the next training session, you know you have found a remarkable place!

I can only urge people to take that first step...
