- The Future
I will continue to advance my studies in martial arts. I wish to achieve as high a rank as I can not for the next belt but for the continued learning and emersion into the martial, physiological, mental, and spiritual training that it will provide. I will also continue to teach others so that they can share what I have discovered and grow with me. There is great joy in teaching as knowledge blooms in discovery that the best way to learn is to teach.
