Jazmine Bowman, 13, right, and Quentin Jasckson, 12, train during a Ketsugen Karate class at the Arctic Oasis Community Center at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Feb. 4. Bowman said she has Asperger’s Syndrome and initially found the class “scary and nerve wracking.” After two years of training, she is among the leading students. “I absolutely love how I feel after class – calm, relaxed and powerful,” she said. “This class has changed my life dramatically both physically and mentally.” Tech.
