People work hard in their own way
Some people work hard by taking time out of their busy and stressful, and hectic schedules to train - just showing up is a feat for them. This is how they work hard.
Some people push their bodies to the limit, they constantly try to execute a technique faster, more precise, more fluent; they push the warm-up and class fitness/agility training -taxing their body is how they work hard.
Some people are interested in the history and philosophy of karate, they ask questions, read, do research, and fills their heads with karate - this is how they work hard.
Some people are persistent in learning all the Japanese terms, the katas, the moves, the stances - learning and paying attention is how they work hard.
Some people improve their character constantly, they strive to be more sociable, agreeable, following practice and tradition. Bows, respect, humility - perfection of character is how they work hard.
Some people never give up - they face constant hardship even just by coming to class. Perhaps low confidence and/or social anxiety. They strive to persist; in their Kata, their presence; performing might be a feat for them - this is how they work hard.
Many people have different ways in which they apply themselves and work hard. It is not always evident, but with a bit of awareness one can see the work they put into karate. Each person works hard in their own way.
