Passion Project: Martial Arts Caleb Lacy

It all started when... The summer before 9th grade, my uncle had just moved back to Texarkana and was looking to restart his martial arts training. As a bored kid more than halfway into the summer, I decided to join him. After the first few classes I found myself spending most of my time practicing Karate, and even though school went on to consume a lot of my time, I still managed to find a way to practice.

Origins It is uncertain where martial arts specifically originated other than just Asia. While many Asian countries have their own unique martial art styles, they all share a lot of similar techniques because traders would teach each others their country’s styles. “History of Martial Arts.” Martial Arts Academy. n.d. 16April13.
