“Why do I think it is important to study the fighting arts?
.
There’s a lot of challenges in the life we live. Nothing is easy in life and I think many of us learn very early in life, that failure is something that can destroy a person, or it can teach them a lesson.
.
I love the term winning or learning, as opposed to winning or losing. The fighting arts is a discipline that offers a fascinating pathway between the physical, the mental, and the spiritual, and I think it’s liking to a pathway. It depends how far down the pathway you get, before it should become evident, in the fighting arts, that the destination is not truly the goal, it becomes the journey, and I think if nothing else, that becomes an important outcome.” ??
