Adult Athlete Spotlight - May

Keith Green – Black Belt

What got you started in martial arts?  What keeps in involved?  Martial arts have become a cornerstone of my life, but it all started with family. My journey began with my Uncle Lacy Green, a true legend in the martial arts world. He wasn't just a black belt; he was a figure of inspiration, his dedication and skill captivating me from a young age.

What's the most epic pre-competition meal you've ever had? I don't eat pre-competitions meals, because I'm not a breakfast person and 90-95% of the time I am competing in the early morning. If for some reason I compete later, I maybe have some crackers or fruit.  Something simple and easy on the stomach.

Imagine you're giving a pep talk to your younger self just starting out in karate. What's the one piece of advice you'd give them?  Starting karate? Condition... condition...condition. Running, jumping jacks - anything that gets your heart pumping. Trust me, sweat now, dominate later!
