EP2. What’s the Point (Pun Intended)?? The identity of Sport Karate/Point Sparring Elyse’s Point

Episode 2: What is the purpose of sport?
What is this idea of "real fighting"?? Why is it that when I tell people "I do karate" that they say "oh.. so that means you can beat me up?"
Uhmm... No? But it does mean that I have dedicated time and effort into a sport to try and excel at the highest level I can. Just like any other athlete!! 
Let's get into the WHY of sport. Why do I do the sport that I do?
