Drawing strength from inside

Rhode Island -- Ms. Angers said she had to fight for her confidence, overcoming a childhood where "the first answer was always no."

"As a kid, my parents provided all the necessities of life, but we were never encouraged to try things. I think this (learning martial arts) actually gave me the ability to draw strength from inside me, and bring that out."

"I knew nothing about martial arts. My neighbor said it was good for focus and discipline, so I took my son for classes. When I first walked in the door, a chill came over me, I could feel it in my stomach; this was something I had to do."
