I did not make it to black belt. My knees would not hold up the spin kicks. Everything you say about strong body and mind was also my experience. i went to a special training for females with other girls and women from my dojo, where every style of martial arts was represented. I met many sexual assault survivors blossoming in gaining mental and physical strength. The tape I bought there showing female black belts doing incredible katas, or breaking a board hanging on a string and many more martial artsy things is watched by my daughter and young friends in awe. Also the trophy I earned then still decorates the house and brings a lot of admiration. Whether you join for a few years or for a longer commitment, it is well worth the effort.
