Marcus Carson
What makes me feel like a Warrior is waking up every day and realizing that tomorrow isn't promised. Get up and make it happen! Working and training hard, striking those kicks and punches, teaching people fun combinations, improving their confidence, and the feeling of knowing that you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it, is what keeps me going.
