BACKGROUND: Lezlie Light
grew up in Southfield and
attended public schools.
Since her mother was a
travel agent, she had the
opportunity to visit many
places all over the United
States and Latin America.
She traveled to Israel at 16.
After high school, she
attended Wayne State
University. In 1980, she
married Stuart Light. Three
years later they began a
family. While raising her
two toddlers, she decided to
do something for
self-improvement.
"I thought I needed to
exercise. I thought karate
would be good because it's
physical and self-defense is
good to know." In the
beginning, her primary
focus was exercise. She went
to Carbone's Academy three
times a week and enjoyed
the philosophy. She kept
progressing in her training
and realized how karate
helped stress reduction.
"It taught me how to focus
and concentrate on what I
was doing!" After four years
of training and practicing,
she became a black belt. She
now is an instructor at
Carbone's. She finds the job
exciting and fulfilling
because there is always
something new to learn, and
it's helpful in everyday
living.
"It started out as a hobby
and turned into a lifestyle!'
she said. 111
