Karate has been a hobby since I was a kid, and I was lucky to go a long time without major injuries. But last year, I was on the wrong end of a take down and tore my ACL in half. I was terrified I would never fight again. I am very thankful to Dr. Marx and HSS for fixing my knee and making sure that didn't happen.
