A large amount of constant activity will get things going. For example, training in the morning will have everything, all the juices flowing by the time you actually get to work.

I started training judo when I was 5 years old. I didn't know much. My mom just took me and my brother to do some judo because we were very energetic. We did that for a couple of years.

I'm fighting hard; I'm training hard. I'm still walking over people and stepping over people to get where I'm going, and I would really like to give back, especially to my mom, who was there for me when I was a kid.
When I first started training Tae Kwon Do, it was more just for discipline.
