Below are excerpts from some of the replies. If you have additional thoughts, please comment or send them to me. “The love and passion you […]
I don’t usually use a meme to make a point but… This one fits for martial arts very well. I’ve been teaching for over 35 years now and have seen a wide variety of students come through the door. Not only the typical 8 year old to 70+ year old but the reasons for why […]
