The Power of Believing in Others | Paul Castagno | TEDxNatick

Sometimes, during our lowest moments, all it takes is for someone to believe in us to help us find our own inner strength. Sensei Paul Castagno shares how his decision to learn martial arts to deal with bullying took him on a journey he never expected. That experience inspired him to dedicate his life to helping others through the spirit behind martial arts, enabling him to see in students of all ages they possess abilities that they can't yet see in themselves - To fuel it until they own it. Helping people realize they are much stronger than they think gives them a self-confidence that lasts the rest of their lives.

Paul is a 5th degree black belt and multi-style martial artist. He is the head instructor and owner of Revolution Martial Fitness in Natick. With over 20 years of martial arts training, Paul teaches his students that compassion and respect for others, non-violent conflict resolution, personal responsibility and a deep appreciation for friendship, community, education, and family are critical aspects of being a black belt.
