[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like varsity sports but without the leadership position. He can probably do something like teaching underresourced kids karate. Great for personal growth. Not much weight in college process. [/quote] I am not an admissions officer but would rank martial arts without any competition wins below varsity sports, because at least there's an element of verifiability when a kid is on a sports team through a school. Otherwise, how do you know how much time and effort the kid is spending on martial arts, and how good they are? My 9-year-old has a black belt in TKD, and while I appreciate the exercise and training provided, it is very much pay to play in this area, and fairly meaningless.[/quote]
