and confidence through mar-
tial arts. She has learned to
take criticism and she has
learned to teach and support
others.
<I started teaching the Tiny
Tigers and that really helped
bring out my voice and stuff,=
she said. <I9m going to try to
put on a (self-defense) class
for high-school girls.=
Gonzalez is impressed
with Kathryn9s development
as a martial artist.
<She9s got power and
speed,= he said. <It9s kind of
cool to have a whole fam-
ily who are black belts in the
community.=
Angela noted that the mar-
tial arts training has improved
both of the children9s body
awareness and coachability.
<It has helped both of their
athletics all the way around,=
she said.
She said the practice has
also helped her.
<I love that full-body
movement,= she said.
She and Jeremy both work
in nursing, and the fitness,
strength, and body aware-
ness help them cope with the
physicality of that work. And,
Jeremy notes, it feels good
to be prepared in the event
something goes bad in the
emergency room.
<You never know what9s
going to come in,= he said.
There are other, less tan-
gible benefits to participating
as a family.
Angela thinks that it9s vital
to <show your kids as an adult
it9s OK to do something new
and fail lots of times and still
keep going.=
Jaymie Kaczmarek has
kept going for many years
now, recently earning master
status as a 4th Dan Black Belt.
For her, martial arts is less
about personal achievement
than it is about supporting and
encouraging others, which has
always been a bedrock prin-
ciple for both her and Marty.
Over the years, she has seen
many people benefit pro-
foundly from their involve-
ment in the martial arts.
<It provides structure, con-
sistency, builds trust between
people,= she said. <I9ve seen
behavior change over time
with students who & didn9t
have a direction in life.=
As a mental-health thera-
pist for children and families,
she sees the qualities encour-
aged by the martial arts as
essential tools for success and
well-being. She has created a
martial arts program within
her practice to inculcate skills
and values that translate
across all aspects of life.
<It9s all interconnected
with my personal and
professional life 4 and it9s all
connected to martial arts,= she
said.
Jaymie Kaczmarek said
that Outlaw Martial Arts has
survived over a long haul and
built a real legacy in Sisters
4 one that she hopes to see
continue as Gonzalez steps
into the leadership role.
<I9m really, really hoping
that happens,= she said.
As Outlaw Martial Arts
enters a new phase in chal-
lenging times, its patrons will
continue to apply themselves
with the ethic they practice on
the dojo floor 4 an ethic of
respect, discipline, persever-
ance and always giving their
best.
