My confidence went up tenfold while training at the dojo. At first, getting up in front of the class to demonstrate a bunkai was torturous. Now, however, it’s no sweat. I feel more comfortable getting up in front of large groups of people. For instance, a couple weeks ago, my band played a gig, and when I got up on stage in front of the crowd, I wasn’t nervous.
