How has your training helped you in your daily life?
Jerry: When I'm at my house doing a sport and I start to get
tired or frustrated/mad, I do my breathing and just try to do my
best. I try not to get mad at myself or other people.
Jakelin: Helps me concentrate in school. Also, when I get frustrated
in school when I can’t figure out an answer, I do my Ninja
Breathing to calm myself down so I can figure it out better and
not get Icy.

An Interview With Jake And Jakelin Zermeno
Jake (10) and Jakelin (9) Zermeno are this month’s featured
kids. They are siblings who recently discovered a local martial
arts program in Lakeway called Life Ki-Do. Only a few months
in, both of them have enjoyed their experience so we asked them
a few questions about it.
It seems like kids today have an enormous amount of academic
and social pressure. Do you feel that pressure and if so, has
doing a program like Life Ki-Do helped you with that?
Jerry: Yes. If I'm doing a really hard question
on a test I can just focus on it instead of
just getting Icy. If I have to write a lot, I
can calm down and find my River.
Jakelin: It helps me when I'm in
school when I'm doing things and
they are hard. Breathing and the
River helps me get through that
question a lot easier then when I
didn't know River and Breathing.
Life Ki-do has been in Austin for over
22 years, and only recently opened a Lakeway
location a few minutes from Rough Hollow
near Café Lago. Thank you Jerry and Jakelin for being our
featured kids!
Both of you have done martial arts before, but what made you
want to try Life Ki-do?
Jerry: “It’s fun to learn and I liked it a lot.”
Jakelin: “My Dad wanted us to do martial arts and he took me
to a free tryout and I really enjoyed it.”
What was the first class like? Were you nervous?
Jerry: “A little”
Jakelin: “Yes, I was very nervous and scared.”
