Teaching people how to fight has the power to do more than prevent violence; it develops perspective. Emily Morgan details how her eleven years of martial arts experience and instruction has cultivated her most important life lessons and skills. The life lessons discovered in teaching martial arts -this talk focuses on involvement with martial arts, as both a student and a teacher, and how it has empowered Emily to grow in ways she never imagined. Emily Morgan is a junior at Valencia High school, currently involved with IB, lacrosse, and French club. Outside of school, she spends most of her time at her martial arts studio either teaching or training, at home playing guitar, or going out with friends. In the future, Emily would love to major in forensic science or chemistry in college and use this to work in a crime lab for the FBI. Her life’s dream, however, is to travel the world with the Peace Corps teaching math in developing nations. She would most like to thank her family, friends, teachers, and martial arts instructors for giving her the skills necessary to participate in TEDx. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
