T.e.a.m. = Together Everyone Achieves More.

People Study Martial Arts For Many Reasons, Sometimes All The Wrong Reasons. For Example, I Have Had Potential Students Come To My Dojo With A Belligerent And Cocky Attitude. When I Ask Why They Want To Study My Art, Their Response Has Indicated To Me That Their Goal Is To Learn To Fight, Which Is The Antithesis Of The Philosophy I Hope To Instill: I Want Them To Know How To Defend Themselves If Necessary, But To Avoid Fighting Whenever Possible Because They Will Have Nothing To Prove By Fighting.

If Some Thug Breaks Into My Home I Can Use My Roundhouse Kick, But I Prefer He Look Down The Barrel Of My Gun.

Anything Worth Achieving Will Always Have Obstacles In The Way

Men Are Like Steel. When They Lose Their Temper, They Lose Their Worth.

The Best Defense Is Not To Offend.
