My friends think I'm crazy. My father says I'll never get a job now, and my mother is worried that I won't get married. However, I'm glad I got a tattoo. Last month, I had a beautiful sun design tattooed onto the top of my left arm. It's smallish, neat and feminine. It won't get lost like jewerly or wear out like clothing. Even when I am old, I will still have my lovely sun. Although I wear clothing that covers my tattoo. I feel special because I know it's there. It makes me feel unique and confident. I know some people think tatoos are unattractive, but I love the special look of my new symbol.

THE MARTIAL ARTS I

The martial arts in America.

Native people in North America and South America have had their own martial training, which they begin since they are child. Some men, and rarely women, were called warriors only after they had proved themselves in battle. The majority of the groups use arms for training like bows, knives, blowguns, spears, and war clubs in early adolescence. War clubs were the preferred martial weapon because Native American warriors could raise their social status by killing enemies in single combat, face to face.Capoeira, with roots in Africa, is an African-Brazilian martial art originated in Brazil. It involves a high degree of flexibility and endurance. It consists of kicks, elbow strikes, hand strikes, head butts, cartwheels and sweeps. Jeet Kune Do is a martial arts system developed by martial artists and actors like Bruce Lee. Its roots lie in Wing Chun.
