Most definitely, the Martial Arts really helped me address my own anger issues I experienced as a youth. My anger issues cost me a great deal during my teenage years. I not only lost my starting job on the basketball team, I was cut at the beginning of my sophomore year. A year later, I was moved from the marching band. You can see my story for more details. Anger issues generally stem from a feeling of anxiety. The feeling that something is not right, they do not feel safe or confident. They experience these feelings and they are unsure of what they are and what to do about them.
