Yes karate gave me confidence too, I was very shy as a kid and my dad didn't like the thought of me being picked on, so sent me to karate. Unfortunately gave it up just as I was getting good, but had so many hobbies as a teenager that my parents were called into school and told my work was suffering as I failed all my mock O Levels. My Dad thought I had too much on and stopped everything so that I could revise. When my exams finished I got a job, cos we were a bit hard up and never went back to karate, but it certainly brought me out of my shell. ;D
